ing communication signed by Sena-
tors Arthur II. Breed and John j.

'California 5 finest ocean beaches
are being fenced off and lost to the
public. The Rcdwoods, Oldest of
living things, are being cut. Many
other natural attractions and his
toric landmarks will soon be gone
unless the State acts now to save
some of them.
"Thc aim of the State Park Bond
Act is to preserve the best of the
beaches and of the RedwoodS, and
other areas of outstanding interest
throughout the State, in a compre-
hcnSiNc system of natural parks.
The Act. passed unanimously by the
Legislature of 1927 and approved
by Governor Young, assures two
dollars worth of parks for every
dollar spent by the state, since 1t
provides that bond monies can be
spent only when half the purchase
price of any given park is raised by
private donation or from sources
oaher than the State. Since S6,0O0,-
00O worth of bonds are authorized,
this means that if they are all is
sued, California will possess, as a
result of this dollar -for-dollar match
