 LIST OF LANDS IN THE FOREST PRESERVE 



REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF FORESTS 



ALBANY, N". Y., January 1, 1911. 



Conservation Commission., Albany, N. Y.: 



GENTLEMEN. I submit herewith a list of lands constituting 

 the Forest Preserve. This information forms the basis for the 

 the entire landed business of this Bureau. The data contained 

 herein is in many ways most important, and the publication from 

 an administrative standpoint more valuable than any other issued 

 by this Division. In this list will be found full information as 

 to what lands the State owns in the Forest Preserve, the acreage 

 of each lot and its location. The source of title is also indicated 

 whether acquired at tax sales, by purchase, or otherwise. The 

 years of the tax sales at which the State acquired a parcel of land 

 are stated. This publication is essential for every one of our 

 forest rangers, and is required for general use in this Division, 

 and there is a demand for thi-gj- information from a large number 

 of people generally. 



Section 50, chapter 441 of the Laws of 1912, defines the Forest 

 Preserve as follows: 



" S'ection 50. Forest Preserve. The Forest preserve shall 

 include the lands owned or hereafter acquired by the state 

 within the county of Clinton, except the towns of Altona and 

 Dannemora, and the counties of Delaware, Essex, Franklin, 

 Fulton, Hamilton. Herkimer, Lewis, Oneida, Saratoga, St. 

 Lawrence, Warren. Washington, Greene, Ulster, and Sullivan, 

 except 



1. Lands within the limits of any village or city, and 

 '2. Lands not wild lands acquired by the state on fore- 

 closure of mortgages made to loan commissioners."
