Garwood, N. J., April 23, 1917.

For quite a few years, I have been intending to write you to tell you how much the Bulletin means to me. It is one of the active links I have with my old School life, in which I was and am still very much interested. If the time ever comes when the Bulletin can not come to me with you and your vivid style back of it. I am going to be very lonesome.

Very truly yours,

COMMISSIONER GEORGE D. PRATT states his attitude regarding
the Concurrent Resolution of the Senate and Assembly, proposing
an amendment to section seven of article seven of the Constitution,
in relation to the use of lands and timber in the Forest Preserve for
fuel for domestic purposes and for roads and trails.

(Print No. 198, Jan. 24, 1918.)

HAVE been asked to state my attitude regarding a bill introduced in the Senate to amend Article VII, §7 of the State Constitution, by providing that this section "shall not prevent the use of lands in the Forest Preserve, or timber thereon, to supply fuel for domestic purposes; or for the construction of roads and trails necessary for protection against fire, and for ingress and egress."

For more than twenty years Article VII, §7 of the State Constitu tion, the safeguard of the State forests, has stood every test to which it' has been possible to subject it. This is largely due to the fact that it is so clearly and positively worded as to be incapable of misconstruction, Such exceptions as are made to the general prohibitions of the section are in language that is positive and that state clearly just how far we may go.

A careful reading of this proposed amendment leads to the conclusion that the apparent objects are expressed so indefinitely as to leave far too wide a field of possible interpretation or application and that, in the absence of specific restrictions, a person might have a right under it to go upon State land, cut all the wood desired, open up and use any roads or trails, and in fact use the land in the Forest Preserve in various other ways without hindrance.
