REPORT OF THE NORTH CAROLINA PARK COMMISSION January 24, 1931. Hon. 0. Max Gardner, Governor, State Capitol, Raleigh, North Carolina. Dear Sir: We have the honor to submit herewith the following as the report of the North Carolina Park Commission since the meeting of the last General Assembly: We deem it advisable to give a brief history of the North Carolina Park Commission, and to outline the several stages of its work since its creation in 1924. The special session of the General Assembly of 1924 was made acquainted with the desire of the Secretary of the Interior to establish a great National Park east of the Mississippi River. It was also reported to the General Assembly that the Secretary of the Interior had appointed a special committee composed of Honorable H. W. Temple, Member of Congress from Pennsylvania, Mr. W. C. Gregg of New Jersey, interested in parks throughout the entire country, Honorable W. A. Welch, Superintendent of the Palisades Inter-State Park, Mr. Harlan P. Kelsey of Salem, Massachusetts, a nationally recognized botanist, and Honorable Glenn Smith, Secretary of the Geological Survey, to make a thorough survey of the available lands east of the Mississippi River, and to determine if it were possible to select a suitable area that would meet the requirements of the Interior Department. Because of the appointment of this committee to work for the establishment of such a park in the East, the Legislature of North Carolina at its special session of 1924, by Resolutions 16 and 29, appointed a Commission to cooperate with the Secretary of the Interior, and his special committee to create such a park. The State Commission was composed of the following: Eugene C. Brooks, Raleigh; D. M. Buck, Bald Mountain; H. W. Chase, Chapel Hill; John G. Dawson, Kinston; J. H. Dillard, Murphy; Plato Ebbs, Asheville; A. M. Kistler, Morganton; Frank Linney, Boone; Harry Nettles, Biltmore; E. S. Parker, Jr., Greensboro, and Mark Squires, Lenoir. This Commission held its first meeting October 8, 1924, and elected Mark Squires, Chairman, and E. C. Brooks, Secretary. It also notified the Federal Committee appointed by the Secretary of the Interior, that it desired to meet the Committee and cooperate with it.
Object
Object’s are ‘parent’ level descriptions to ‘children’ items, (e.g. a book with pages).

This 12-page report was produced by the North Carolina Park Commission for Governor O. Max Gardner in 1931, seven years after the formation of the commission, which was created by a special session of the General Assembly in 1924. The commission was tasked with establishing a national park east of the Mississippi River and, by this time, had settled on the region of the Great Smoky Mountains. The report includes a detailed accounting of funds raised and lands acquired for the park. Both North Carolina and Tennessee had acquired over 100,000 acres that were deeded to the federal government and placed under the management of the Secretary of the Interior. State funding for the project was augmented by a five million dollar gift from the Rockefeller family foundation. The report concludes with copies of state resolutions that outlined the specific tasks of the commission.
