CHAPTER 1--NATIONAL PARKS, MILITARY PARKS, MONUMENTS, AND SEASHORES
SUBCHAPTER XXII--LASSEN VOLCANIC NATIONAL PARK
Sec. 202. Control; rules and regulations; fish and game; leases;
automobiles; stock grazing
Lassen Volcanic National Park shall be under the exclusive control
of the Secretary of the Interior. He shall make such rules and
regulations and exercise such powers as are enumerated in section 3 of
this title insofar as not inconsistent with this section. Such
regulations shall be aimed primarily at the freest use of the said park
for recreation purposes by the public and for the preservation from
injury or spoliation of all timber, mineral deposits, and natural
curiosities or wonders within said park and their retention in their
natural condition as far as practicable and for the preservation of the
park in a state of nature so far as is consistent with the purposes of
this section and sections 201 and 203 of this title. He shall provide
against the wanton destruction of the fish and game found within said
park and against their capture or destruction for purposes of
merchandise or profit, and generally shall be authorized to take all
such measures as shall be necessary to fully carry out the objects and
purposes of said sections. He may, in his discretion, execute leases to
parcels of ground not exceeding 10 acres in extent at any one place to
any one person or persons or company for not to exceed 20 years when
such ground is necessary for the erection of buildings for the
accommodation of visitors and to parcels of ground not exceeding one
acre in extent and for not to exceed 20 years to persons who have
heretofore erected, or whom he may hereafter authorize to erect, summer
homes or cottages. Such leases or privileges may be renewed or extended
at the expiration of the terms thereof. No exclusive privilege, however,
shall be granted within the park except upon the ground leased. The
regulations governing the park shall include provisions for the use of
automobiles therein and the reasonable grazing of stock.
(Aug. 9, 1916, ch. 302, Sec. 2, 39 Stat. 444.)
