L.I Chamber For Defeat of Amendment 1 Group Charges Passage Would Be Menace to Forest Preserve In order to preserve the natural beauty and distinctive features of the State Forest Preserve in the' Adirondacks, vigorous opposition is registered by the Conservation Committee of the Long Island Chamber of Commerce to the passage of Amendment No. 1, which will be submitted to vote throughout New York State on Nov. 8.

This amendment would so change present law as to permit the Legislature to enact laws for the construction of "recreational facilities" in the State Forest Preserve. This, the Chamber's committee points out, would involve cutting of trees and might include the erection of buildings and other structures; all of which it claims is not required by present needs, would tend to mar the wild forest character of the Forest Preserve. The amendment was passed by the Legislatures of 1930-1931 and requires ratification by the voters before it can become effective. Chairman Jerome V. Jerome and Richard T.

Childs, Vice Chairman for Nassau County, speaking the Long Island Chamber's Conservation Committee, say that the proposed amendment invades the protection of the Forest Preserve guaranteed by the State Constitution and that 1 putting this amendment in force would establish a dangerous precedent.
