The Adirondacks and Catskills should be great parks kept in perpetuity for the benefit and enjoyment of our people.

Much has been done of late years towards their preservation, but very much remains to be done.

The provisions of law in reference to sawmills and wood-pulp mills are defective and should be changed so as to prohibit dumping dye-stuff, sawdust, or tan-bark, in any amount whatsoever, into the streams.

Reservoirs should be made, but not where they will tend to destroy large sections of the forest, and only after a careful and scientific study of the water resources of the region.

The people of the forest regions are themselves growing more and more to realize the necessity of preserving both the trees and the game.
