and WHEREAS, the plan calls for investigation of a new trail to the open summit of Ledge Mountain in the Blue Mountain Wild Forest and discontinuing maintenance of the Sawyer Mountain trail and vista if a suitable opportunity for an alternate naturally occurring vista can be identified; and WHEREAS, the approval of this unit management plan is not a specific endorsement by the Agency of vista maintenance either as a general practice in a Wilderness area or as proposed for Sawyer Mountain in this unit management plan;

and WHEREAS, the Department and the Agency are committed to the continued discussion and examination of the overall concept of vista management as a general practice in Wilderness or as a proposal for Sawyer Mountain within the guidelines and criteria of the State Land Master Plan;

and WHEREAS, the plan commits to the implementation of strategies for prevention, targeted containment and/or eradication of invasive plant infestations; and WHEREAS, the plan proposes management intended to restore and perpetuate indigenous fish species, provide recreational angling as part of a larger wilderness experience, and maintain and perpetuate annual hunting and trapping activities as legitimate uses of the wildlife resources compatible with wilderness recreation; and WHEREAS, the Department has amended the plan to provide for the collection of additional biological and chemical sampling data from Slim Pond if determined to be necessary as part of the wetlands application process prior to initiating reclamation activities; and WHEREAS, the plan proposes management to monitor and afford protection to species which are endangered, threatened, or of special concern; and WHEREAS, the Department has committed to the development of indicators and standards for primitive tent sites in the area, as well as to continued consultation with the Agency regarding design criteria to ensure sites conform to the guidelines and criteria of the Master Plan and to close, restore and relocate tent sites that do not conform with Master Plan guidelines;

and WHEREAS, the plan commits to the adoption of regulations limiting the maximum number of people per tent site to eight people, and limiting day use group sizes to fifteen in conformance with the Master Plan guideline to implement appropriate administrative and regulatory measures to control use within the physical, biological and social carrying capacity of the wilderness resource; and WHEREAS, the plan calls for the posting of Navigation Law requirements of a 5 mph speed limit from the shoreline which will apply to all motor boats and personal watercraft on the waters of South Inlet; and WHEREAS, the plan proposes to establish a Historic Great Camps Special Management Area for the Forest Preserve lands in the vicinity of the historic Camp Sagamore and Camp Uncas properties; and WHEREAS, the purpose of this designation is to recognize the importance of the Great Camps as cultural resources of State and national significance, to coordinate with educational programs offered at Camp Sagamore and to support the long-term preservation of the Great Camps as educational and cultural resources; and WHEREAS, the Department has amended the plan to list structures at the beginning of the entrance road to Camp Kill Kare but on Forest Preserve lands as non-conforming and in need of a legal determination regarding whether there is an underlying property right for their continuance at the current location;

  • State and Local Immigration Regulation in the United States Before 1882
    BENJAMIN J. KLEBANER STATE AND LOCAL IMMIGRATION REGULATION IN THE UNITED STATES BEFORE 1882 The absence of significant federal regulation in the area of immigration legislation until 1882 1 no more denotes a laissez-faire approach in this area than in many other aspects of American economic life. For many generations Congress had left the task of regulating the immigrant stream to the states and localities.2 The first general federal law (1882) is best understood in the context of antecedent activity on the local level. Eventually most of the seaboard states, including many without an important passenger traffic, enacted statutes dealing with immi- gration. Table I presents a brief outline of their essential features. After a consideration of certain aspects of the provisions of these laws, their administration in the major seaports will be surveyed. It will then be shown how the increasing opposition by business inter- ests to state legislation, culminating in decisions by the Supreme Court declaring such regulation unconstitutional, eventually paved the way for the 1882 Act of Congress. I. THE STATUTORY BACKGROUND Nine of the thirteen colonies reflected in their enactments the desire to protect the community from the burden of foreigners likely to 1 Federal space and sanitation requirements, however, date back to 1819. Federal legis- lation is conveniently compiled in U.S. Immigration Commission, Reports, vol. XXXIX (Washington, 1911). Cf. John Higham, Strangers in the Land (New Brunswick, N. J.; Rutgers University Press, 1955), p. 44. This article does not discuss legislation enacted in a number of states which barred foreign convicts. - The author acknowledges with gratitude the many helpful suggestions made by Professor Carter Goodrich, who super- vised his doctoral thesis "Public Poor Relief in America, 1790-1860" (Columbia University, 1952) from which much of the material for this article is taken.

This information has been gleaned from various tombstone readings, Bovina New UP interment records (from 1910), 1855 and 1905 Bovina Census and the genealogy notes from the sources provided in “Early Bovina Families & their Descendants”. A few individuals appear to be buried in two locations. When David F. Hoy did his readings (1914-1918) I am certain that the tombstones were there. Some families moved their loved ones to the new cemetery before the Cemetery Association incorporated (1910) and no known record of the transfer exists, but the tombstones were read in the Bovina New UP Cemetery also. Please check this information against your other sources.
