Acquisition of property

Government purchasing of real property

Zebulon Weaver (1872-1948) was a lawyer and U.S. Representative from western North Carolina. He was a member of the North Carolina Park Commission and was involved in the land acquisition process that went towards establishment of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park and development of the Blue Ridge Parkway. This set of two letters is the correspondence between Zebulon Weaver and Mrs. W. E. Comstock regarding the likely sum of money the Park Commission would pay to Mrs. Comstock. Following are brief summaries of each letter: Zebulon Weaver to Mrs. W. E. Comstock, January 19, 1931 In this letter Weaver conveys to Mrs. Comstock it was unlikely she would get her desired sum of one thousand dollars for giving up her interests in lands designated for the park. She, however, was free to discuss this issue further with the Park Commission in the future. Zebulon Weaver to Mrs. W. E. Comstock, February 4, 1931 In this letter Weaver lets Mrs. Comstock know the Park Commission would most likely pay her three hundred dollars and not the thousand dollars as suggested by her. However, Mrs. Comstock was welcome to discuss this matter further with Mr. Rhodes of the Park Commission.
