^Sfate Reservaf ion on tf)e 3t. Laurence. 



THE lands and islands constituting the St. Lawrence Reservation or Park 

 were enumerated in our last report. Substantial docks of a size suitable 

 for steamboats to land at have been constructed at Cedar Island, Kring 

 Point, Island Mary, De Wolf Point, Watterson Point, Delany or Canoe Point, 

 Picnic Point and at Cedar Point. Small docks for skiff landings have also 

 been constructed at all the above-mentioned places excepting at Cedar and 

 Picnic Points, and the dock at Lotus Island has been placed in good repair. 



Provision has been made for the erection of open pavilions at nine different 

 places on said reservation. Outbuildings were erected at the same time the docks 

 were built. 



The various points and islands have been cleaned up at considerable labor and 

 are now in excellent condition for camping and dining parties. 



State land notices and also cautionary fire notices have been posted on the 

 various places. 



The law creating the reservation specified that one of the present fish and game 

 protectors should be appointed superintendent thereof and conferred on him 

 authority of a police constable. This provision of the law was complied with by 

 appointing Protector Joseph Northup, of Alexandria Bay, as such superintendent. 



The various places belonging to the State were extensively used during the 

 usual pleasure season last year, and the popularity of the park as such is great not 

 only with pleasure seekers from the cities stopping there temporarily, but also with 

 the permanent residents of that locality. 



To properly superintend and maintain the lands and buildings, making such 

 repairs as are found necessary from time to time, a small appropriation is needed, 

 and we recommend that $2,000 be placed at the disposal of the Commission for 

 that purpose.
