		He wrote to the state government that action was necessary to protect the forests or it would be wasted, which would lead to the drying up of the water needed to keep the Erie Canal in operation.

	A Report on a Proposed Adirondack Mountains National Park (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The National Park Proposal On July 30, 1967 the plan for a national park (Figure 3) within the central portion of the Adirondack Park was released by the Office of the Governor.
		Findings of an earlier assessment of the Adirondack Park prepared for the Council of Parks suggested that current state administrative policies and practices were inadequate; that the park concept competed with the forest preserve concept; and that the administrative structure of he Adirondacks urgently required attention (Liroff and Davis 1981).
		State and private land outside the federal park area would be put at risk of being degraded by strip development of the type existing on the fringes of some national parks, with the ''hole-in-the-donut" situation of a national park within a state park construed as an "administrative nightmare" (Jerry 1999).
