                         TITLE 16--CONSERVATION
 
   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.)
