(Mar. 2, 1899, ch. 377, § 2, 30 Stat. 994; June 12, 1917, ch. 27, § 1, 40 Stat. 153.)

Codification

The words “In addition to the powers and duties enumerated in section 3 of this title, not inconsistent with this section” were added to relate this section to later law, defining the duties of the Secretary of the Interior as to national parks.
An additional provision in the first sentence making it the duty of the Secretary of the Interior as soon as practicable to make such rules and regulations as he might deem necessary or proper for the care and management of the park has been omitted as executed.
A provision of the original section for the disposition of the proceeds of leases for buildings for accommodation of visitors and other revenues from the park has been omitted as superseded by section 452 of this title.
“Pacific National Forest” was substituted for “Pacific Forest Reserve” on authority of act Mar. 4, 1907, ch. 2907, 34 Stat. 1269, which provided that forest reserves shall hereafter be known as national forests.

Repeals

Repeal of provisions of this section relating to granting rights-of-way to railway or tramway companies for purpose of building and operating a railway or tramway, so far as they relate to lands within Mount Rainier National Park, see section 92a of this title.
