District Forester Olmsted asks Stanford University President Jordan his opinion on the proposed elimination of the Pinnacles Division of the Monterey National Forest. Olmsted presents facts relating to the issue, including the opinions of the Secretaries of the Departments of the Interior and Agriculture, as well as quotes from a letter by Forest Supervisor Raymond Tyler on the reasons supporting the removal. Olmsted agrees that it seems unwise to spend public funds on the Pinnacles Division as a National Forest, although he acknowledges that its removal may also remove the Game Preserve that is currently in place.
