Reports. 



253 



would be defined by the main crest of the Sierra, as you had 

 suggested to me would be the report of the commission, provided 

 that simultaneously with such change at least one tier of town- 

 ships fronting all along on this proposed eastern boundary be 

 included in an extension of the forest reserve. We feel that 

 something is necessary along this eastern boundary of the park 

 to act as a buffer against invasion, and if the plan suggested can 

 be carried out it would probably be as effective a protection of the 

 vital portions of the park as we could expect. 



Very truly yours, 



(Signed) Wm. E. Colby, 



Secretary of Sierra Club.
