. A state park plan for New York, with a proposal for the new park bond issue. Parks. THE FALLS IN WINTEtt main roads, where necessary or desirable, either by gifts or grants or by conveyances, or by leases in perpetuity or for a term of years, or by licenses and also to acquire by condemna- tion any land not devoted to railroad or power uses, and not held or intended for such uses. All titles to such land, and all leases and licenses, would be taken in the name of the State of New York. In the original plan presented to the legislature, it was hoped to obtain not exceeding $500,000 from the state by direct ap- propriations over several years, and a sum of about $80,000 a year through a charge on water power. In the bill as last amended, there was provision for a very small initial appropria- tion, only to cover surveys and some preliminary expenses, and a pledge of additional sums up to $200,000 from the state, in addition to the annual charge on water power. It is anticipated that the project would require approximately $1,000,000 avail- able over a period of about seven to ten years, for extensions and permanent betterments. There is reason to hope that the measure in its essential form will commend itself to the people of the state in the near future, with proper provision for the gradual improvement of this fron- tier; and thus will be started a great plan of regional develop- ment along the Niagara Eiver of which we shall all be proud, and an imperishable memorial to our soldiers and sailors will be created. 40.
