submitted 92 years ago by ch. 519 to r/title-16-CONSERVATION · 116 words · no verdicts yet
The Secretary of the Interior can accept donated land, buildings, and money for the Ocmulgee National Monument. Using donated funds, the Secretary can buy land at a fair price, or use condemnation proceedings if needed to complete the monument.
This section has no lettered subsections. The Secretary of the Interior may accept donations of land, land rights, buildings, structures, and other property within the monument's boundaries, and donations of money to buy or maintain them — as long as the ownership record for any acquired land satisfies the Secretary. Using donated money, the Secretary may buy land at prices he considers reasonable, or, if that doesn't work, use condemnation proceedings under section 3113 of title 40 to acquire whatever land is still needed to complete the monument.
The Secretary of the Interior is authorized to accept donations of land, interests in land, buildings, structures, and other property, within the boundaries of said national monument as determined and fixed hereunder and donations of funds for the purchase and/or maintenance thereof, the title and evidence of title to lands acquired to be satisfactory to the Secretary of the Interior: Provided, That he may acquire on behalf of the United States under any donated funds by purchase when purchasable at prices deemed by him reasonable, otherwise by condemnation under the provisions of section 3113 of title 40, such tracts of land within the said national monument as may be necessary for the completion thereof.
