CHASE OF MORE PROPERTY URGED.

CHASE OF MORE PROPERTY URGED.
Assembly appointed last winter by Speaker Nixon
TO investigate certain matters pertaining TO the
State Park and Forest Preserve, will submit its
report TO the Assembly week. This commit
tee which had full power 10 prosecute its inquiry
in every direction Investigated the following sub
jects: What shall constitute the proper boun-
daries Of the State Park? What lands. II any, now
owned by the State, outside OF the boundaries OF
said park should be sold. and what additional
lands If any, within its boundaries. should be pur
chased by the State? Whether or not the game
and forest laws being violated, and if So what
remedial measures necessary TO secure their
proper enforcement?
Under the resolution $500 appropriated for
the committee 10 carry on its work. The commit
tee consisted of Messrs Addison L. Clark, OF
Lewis; Deos Axte of Delaware Charles Adler
Of New-York; Richard Gardiner. of Monroe; e. E.
Kelley, of Herkimer; c. o. Roberts. of Jefferson;
". L. Sanford, Of Kings; George w. Meyer, of
New-York, and John McKeown. of Kings.
The conclusions reached by the committee after a
careful investigation lead 1t to recommend that
the State purchase much of its forest as is
possible practicable, and therefore that the ap
preparation for the purchase OF lands in the Adron
dack Park be continued They would recommend,
moreover, that amendments be made to the Con-
stitution permitting the sale OF many of the de-
tsched parcels of outlying lands owned by the
State. the proceeds TO be applied in the purchase
OF other lands better located Tor the purposes OF
forest preservation and that the proper authorities
should have power under stringent restrictions to
lease lands when and where the interests of the
State will receive benefit.
The recommendation is also made that legislation
be had upon the following subjects
That the boundary line of the Adirondack Park
be changed so include all tinbered lands in
the Adirondack region, provision being made for a
reasonable timber and fuel supply for the people in
the vicinity. and TO exclude lands, as far as pos
sible, that have purely agricultural value
That purchases OF lands shall not be confined to
The Adirondack Park. but shall be made also in
other localities where there large tracts along
streams whose water supply should be protected
that reservoirs should be built where practicable
with reasonable expense.
That the Fisheries, Game and Forest Commits
sioners have sufficient force TO enable them TO en-
force the within their jurisdiction effectively
and that the laws for the prevention and putting
out OF fires be made efficient possible.
The committee further says that in the State
purchases Of lands in the vicinity of lakes and
ponds the purchases should IL possible, include The
shores OF such lakes and ponds.
