Dorr Bar Harbor, Maine Dear Mr. Dorr:- I have bought several lots of land in the Sound district between North East Harbor, and Somesville. There were about ten different lots, which were formerly owned by such parties as Brown, Richardson, Higgins, Sargent, Murphy, Morris, and others. These people claim they have had the eastern end of their lots properly bounded for the last seventy or one hun- dred years. I mean the end that bounds on the land that for- merely belonged, I think, to the Jordans, and then to the Howes, and has recently been bought for the Reservation. I am told that the Reservation has had a survey made, and that they have run a line that extends well into the lots that formerly belonged to the original owners, and in fact some of them belong now to the original owners. I have also been told that a lot of fifty scres, which formerly belonged to Murphy, and which I bought from Bracy has been cut in two, and that twenty acres have been taken off of it by the Reser- vation, and that it will take much more from a lot that I bought, which formerly belonged to Morris. Mr. Lynam, who seems to be an agent for the Reservation, thought the man, who had made the survey, had not gone far enough to the west. I do not know how much more he would have taken, but I told him that if they had taken much more there would not have been much left to the original owners. The original owners claim that the bounds are well de- fined by bolts, piles of stones, and spotted trees. I intende to have gone over my purchases last fall, but the snow came on so suddenly I did not have time. It seems to me a rather peculiar condition for the Reservation to be trying to take so much land from SO many people, who have held the land so long, and have always agreed upon the line they now claim to be well established. - 2 - My experience in life has taught me to deal with people a little differently than the representatives of the Reservation seem to have dealt with the land owners at the Sound. When I find a difference of opinion between landowners about titles or bounds I attempt to adjust the difference as soon as I can, as I want to be on the best of terms with the party that owns the property next to mine, and I should think the people who control the Reservation would be more than anxious to be on the best of terms with all the people of the island. It seems to me that if the Reservation is to be a success it must have the help and co-operation of all the people. Now I know that the running of this line, as it has been run, has caused more hard feeling on this island than any other one thing I have heard of here in my whole life. For one thing have been told, and I think it is true, that more deer have been killed on the island this last fall than for a long time. I am also told by one man that he was told that one person had killed six. I have heard from both the origi- nal and present owners of land in the Sound district remarks which I do not think it would be advisable to repeat, but which are exceedingly bitter toward those in charge of the Reservation. About thirty years ago the Road Commissioner of IV. E. Harbor undertook to locate the town roads in the whole village, but after running with a surveyor a few days and finding that they were running through and on the wrong side of some houses, and through the Rock End Hotel, it was decided to establish the lines on the location of the old road. I have always found in the settlement of boundary disputes, that when the whole community is united, as it is in this case, and the bounds, and monuments to prove they are right, as they claim they have in this case, that they are likely to prevail, and the other side is likely to lose. It seems to me that even though the Reservation may think that they are technically right they would rather "give in" than to get the ill will of SO many people. It seems to me the only fair way to adjust this controversy is to take the old lines that have been established and undisputed so long. Very truly yours, Le. E. Kimbau LEK/MMK DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE LAFAYETTE NATIONAL PARK BAR HARBOR, MAINE OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT January 21 , 1922. Mr. L. E. Kimball. Northeast Harbor, Me. Dear Mr. Kimbail: I have just received your letter of January 13th with regard to the boundary between lands you have lately purchased and those of the National Park. Personally I know nothing of this boundary. The Government desires no land to which it can not show just claim; I have no right or nower to alienate from its owner- would ship land to which it is entitled, nor you wish to take such land. Where land has remained until now uncleared and un- cultivated. and has none other than a forest value, bound- aries in this region are ant to be obscure so far as land- marks go. Where a stone bound was erected, as was generally the case where boundaries were regarded & S important, there is no difficulty in obtaining clear starting points for the descriptions shown in doods; but where location was establish- ad by marke out on trees, these are apt to vanish, and momory of location in such oi rounstance is doubtful and soon lost.

JANOITAN 1- 21-22 MAIN ,ROBRAH RA8 3HT 70 Which is the case in the present instance I have no means of telling at this time, nor, as I understand your letter, have you. All that we can do under these circumstances is to employ a good surveyor and have the line run out, ob- taining all the evidence we can from local sources that might cast light on it. This I will gladly co-operate with you in doing as so on as I have funds which I can use for such purpose. I am glad to have the information that you send me in re gard to the illegal slaughter of deer unon the Island. This is a State matter, and the State Fish and Game Com- missioner will be glad to got your statement, which I will forward.
