submitted 90 years ago by ch. 477 to r/title-16-CONSERVATION · 168 words · no verdicts yet
Once the peace memorial is officially set up, the Secretary of the Interior can accept gifts of land and money for it. The Secretary can use donated money to buy needed land at a fair price, or take it through condemnation if a purchase can't be worked out. Congress also let the Secretary buy up to four more acres using regular government funds.
After the said peace memorial has been established as provided in section 433a of this title the Secretary of the Interior is authorized to accept donations of land, interests in land, buildings, structures, and other property as may be donated for the extension and improvement of the said peace memorial, and donations of funds for the purchase and 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 out of 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 peace memorial as may be necessary for the completion thereof. The Secretary of the Interior is authorized to purchase with appropriated funds not to exceed four acres of land, or interests in land, for addition to the Perry’s Victory and International Peace Memorial.
