§ 35. Cession of jurisdiction to lands acquired for light-house

purposes. The jurisdiction to such tracts of land, not exceeding ten

acres, acquired by the United States for the construction and

maintenance of light-houses and keepers' dwellings before April

eighteenth, eighteen hundred sixty-one, or as shall have been acquired

since such date, or as shall be hereafter acquired, upon the selection

by an authorized officer of the United States, the approval of the

governor, the filing in the office of the secretary of state of a

description of the boundaries thereof, with the approval of the governor

indorsed thereon, and the filing in such office of a map thereof, which

map shall be drawn with pen and India ink upon tracing cloth and shall

be otherwise in form and manner suitable to the files, records and

purposes of the office of the secretary of state, is ceded to the United

States, upon condition that the jurisdiction so ceded shall not prevent

the execution thereon of any process, civil or criminal, issued under

the authority of the state, except as such process might affect the

property of the United States therein, and that such jurisdiction shall

continue in the United States so long only as the land shall be used and

occupied for the purposes of the cession, unless the consent of the

state to a different use shall have been granted.
