Book excerpt: Excerpt from List of Lands in the Forest Preserve, 1909 Sir. - I have the honor to submit herewith a list of lands constituting the Forest Preserve, Though of little or no interest to the general public, it is the most important and valuable publication issued by the Department. It is the basis of the entire landed business of the Commission. In this printed list will be found, convenient to hand, full information as to what land the State owns in the Forest Preserve counties, the acreage of each lot, and its location. The source of title is also stated, - whether acquired at tax sale, by purchase, foreclosure of mortgage, or resale of bonded lands. If acquired by tax sale, the year in which the sale was held is given; and, if by purchase, the year when the property was bought. From these schedules the draughtsman obtains the information which enables him to show in colors the State lands on the Adirondack and Catskill maps, and to thus indicate definitely the location of each one of the 6,771 separate parcels of land which constitute the Forest Preserve, With this printed list of lots, each forest official knows what lands are in his care and custody, and the property that requires his supervision or watchcare.
