State Parks of Wisconsin 



this state has been endowed, from commercial vandalism or private 

 ownership. 



We believe that the state should act while the property desired 

 can be purchased at a reasonable figure and at a price which would 

 prove an excellent investment from a purely money standpoint, and 

 that if action is postponed, it will be more difficult each year to ac- 

 quire these beauty spots that are already beginning to attract the at- 

 tention of wealthy lovers of nature all over the world. 



We submit herewith the more detailed report of Mr. John Nolen, 

 Landscape Architect of Cambridge, Mass., and heartily concur in 

 his report and recommendations. 



Dated, Madison, Jan. 13, 1909.
