THE NATIONAL PARK
The first thing on the calendar was the
| Senate Bill entitled an act to give con-
sent by the State of North Carolina to
the acquisition by the United States of
such lands as way be needed for the es-
/
in said State. The Committee on the
Judiciary reported unfavorably on the
bill as originally drawn, but recommend
ed a substitute. which Mr.. Hayes said
carried out the original purpose of the
bill. The first draft was thought to be
Internationally unjust to owners of more
| than 200 acres Of land
| The substitute to the bill as originally
l Wn hat bn tato of
Carolina shall retain a concurrent juris-
diction with the United States in and
over said lands so far that civil process
| in all cases. and such criminal process
as may issue under the authority of the
State of North Carolina against any per-
son charged with the commission of crime
without CT within said jurisdiction, may be
executed as If this act had not been pass
ed. 1t further provides that in the ac-
QUESTION of the land by the United States,
as much as two hundred acres of any tract
of land occupied as a home by bona fide
residents in this State at the date OF
ratification shall be exempt from condem-
nation.
The substitute passed all its readings
without discussion and was sent TO the
Senate without engrossment.
Then the following Joint resolution
offered by Mr.. Zachary, of Pennsylvania,
was read and adopted:
A resolution favoring the establishment
of a National Forest Reserve in the
Southern Appalachian Mountain region.
Resolved h. the House of Representa-
tives, the Senate concurrng:
The General Assemble of North Caro-
lima hereby expresses it's approval of the
movement looking TO the establishment
by the Federal Government of an cxten-
sive National Forest Reserve in the
Southern Appalachian Mountain region as
wise and benefeent measure. such as
many other nations have already adopted
and which this country should adopt be-
fore it is too late looking TO the conser-
walton OF its forests and the protection
of the sources of important streams; and
| whereas. the proposal TO establish this
forest preserve has been approved and
urged by the leading scientific societies
and forestry associations Of the country
and by the general press; and whereas
this General Assembly has passed an act
| granting it's consent to the ACQUISITION o(
lands in Western North Carolina by the
Federal Government for Incorporation
