National Park Service Director Mather thanks Lewis Carrigan, Secretary-Manager of the Northern California Counties Association, for his letter reporting the attitude of his organization regarding the Lassen Volcanic National Park. Mather explains that due to a lack of funding the Forest Service has been managing the park lands thus far, but mentions that the National Park Service has requested an appropriation of $5,000 for the park for the coming year. Mather is sure Lassen Volcanic National Park will be a compliment to other parks in the area, and is glad to hear about the support for the park that Carrigan reports.
