Administrative History
Laws of 1899, Ch. 242, and later amendments, and Laws of 1909, Ch. 59, Art. 4, Section 52, required that a certified copy of the deed be filed with the Secretary of State. Acquisitions of property for military and naval facilities and for lighthouses were accompanied by a release or cession of jurisdiction over the parcel to the United States by the governor of New York. Cession of jurisdiction to the U.S. was authorized by Laws of 1896, Ch. 391.
