Stock also supported Paul Smith's

making reference to its extensive
acid rain research equipment.
Commissioner John Collins of Blue
Mountain Lake supported the Mud
Pond site near his hometown, noting
his belief there is a "natural compatibility " between a visitors center
and the Adirondack Museum,
Designee Swanson joined Collins in
supporting Mud Pond because, he>
said, it lies near the busier Routes 30
and 28N.
Commissioner Peter Paine said he
liked the Paul Smith's site, but said
the Rich Lake site is "marginally"
better than the college's because
p a u l Smiths lies so far from the
center of the Park.

During public comment on the
change, Richard Lawrence, the
former Agency Chairman whose
family owns the Split Rock site, objected to what he called "change in
the rules of the game."
He cautioned the Agency, saying,
"You can't afford to play to an empty
house."
