In response to a request from John H. Worst to apply for examination of forest lands at Sullys Hill National Park, acting superintendent Charles L. Davis says that he does not believe he has the authority to make the request. Changing the park as Worst requests would require an act of Congress. Davis notes that Congress has made no further legislation or appropriation for the park since President Roosevelt’s initial proclamation creating it. The park was created at the request of the Native American tribe who resides nearby, and Davis’s duty is to represent their interests.
