The "advance-fee swindle" in
out-of-state recreational property
sales has once again surfaced in
Washington State.
The latest incident of what
has been called "one of the most
vicious rackets to deal with"
involves a Phoenix, Arizona firm,
according to Jack Nelson, director
' of the Washington State
Department of Motor Vehicles.

delegated to its legislative
committee the responsibility for
reviewing carefully all land use
legislation which has been enacted
recently or such bills as might be
introduced in this session of the
legislature such as HB 168. The
rights of the individual under the
United States Constitution and
the more flexible use of local
rather than state or federal
control are the prime matters to
be considered by the WAR
legislative committee.

which would serve the public
interest with less crossfire of
agency involvement and protect
what rights still remain with the
property owner. Knauf also noted
having heard that 52 percent of
Washington State is publically
owned which puts private
