Scope and Content Note

This series consists of correspondence, surveys, and related maps compiled by the State Comptroller's Office in the process of performing tax searches on parcels of private land proposed for purchase by the state as additions to the Adirondack Forest Preserve. A smaller quantity of records of these same types were submitted to the comptroller's office by supervisors of local tax districts for the purpose of correcting "imperfect" property descriptions, as required by Section 106 of the State Tax Law. Several maps were interfiled in the series without accompanying correspondence or explanation.
