CEDING JURISDICTION TO THE UNITED STATES
                 Act of Jul. 1, 1937, P.L. 2656, No. 519              Cl. 29
                                  AN ACT

     To cede jurisdiction, to the United States, over lands embraced
        within the boundaries of Carlisle Barracks, located in
        Cumberland County, and over the tract of land and buildings
        occupied by the New Cumberland General Depot, located in York
        County.

        Section 1.  Be it enacted, &c., That the jurisdiction of the
     State of Pennsylvania is hereby ceded to the United States of
     America, for the occupation and use, for purposes of national
     defense, and for the erection and maintenance of the necessary
     buildings for the military or other public use of the United
     States, over all the lands now embraced within the boundaries of
     Carlisle Barracks Military Reservation, situate in Cumberland
     County, State of Pennsylvania, excepting roads abutting on said
     reservation, and that portion of the Carlisle-Harrisburg
     turnpike located within the boundaries thereof; and over all
     that tract of land comprising the New Cumberland General Depot,
     situate in York County, State of Pennsylvania, excepting roads
     abutting thereon, and those portions of the Marsh Run Road which
     lie within the boundaries thereof, and that portion of U. S.
     Highway No. 111 (old State Highway No. 333), which extends
     across the southeast corner for a distance of approximately two
     hundred seventy and one-half (270-1/2) feet.
        Section 2.  The jurisdiction, so ceded to the United States
     of America, is granted upon the express condition that the said
     State of Pennsylvania shall retain concurrent jurisdiction with
     the United States in and over the tracts of land aforesaid, in
     so far that civil process in all cases, and such criminal
     process as may issue under the authority of the State of
     Pennsylvania against any person or persons charged with crimes
     committed outside the limits of said lands, may be executed
     thereon in the same way and manner as if this jurisdiction had
     not been ceded. The United States shall retain such jurisdiction
     so long as the said tracts or parcels of land shall be used for
     the purposes for which jurisdiction is ceded, and no longer.
        Section 3.  That if at any time hereafter, any additional
     lands adjoining those above described shall be purchased by the
     United States for use of the said Carlisle Barracks Military
     Reservation or the New Cumberland General Depot, respectively,
     or for any other military purpose, this act shall be construed
     to vest in the United States jurisdiction over such additional
     lands to the same extent as is vested by this act over the
     tracts or parcels above described.
