PARK SITES PURCHASE
BY STATE TO BE ASKED
Tennessee Groups to Present
Measure to Legislature Providing
Funds for Purpose.
sncci,l Dispatch to The Star.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, December 10
If the plans formulated by Gov. Aus
tin Peay, Wilbur \. Nelson, president
of the Tennessee Academy of Science.
and a group of citizens are, carried
out, the Tennessee legislature next
month will be asked to provide a
large appropriation for the purchase
of two vast properties to be converted
into scenic parks.
a proposition has been made tenta-
lively to the owner of Mount Lee
conte, on the North Carolina bound
AIRY line. an estate comprising thou
sands of acres OF mountain park.
, The proposal. which apparently has
met with the approval OF the owner,
, regarded as one of the most public
spirited men in the State, is unique.
The State is to purchase the estate
for a sum to be agreed upon by the
legislature. but the principal is never
to be- paid-only the interest.
The next project is the purchase
of 10000 acres of land. the property
OF T. .. Morris of Union City. Tenn,
surrounding Reclfoot Lake. The
State now owns the body of water,
I, but not the land about il.
:. While the big estates would be con-
verted into free public parks, they
also would become preserves.
