                                  AN ACT

     To cede jurisdiction over a part of the public road, known as
        the Emmitsburg Road, within the National Park at Gettysburg,
        Pennsylvania.

        Section 1.  Be it enacted, &c., That the jurisdiction of this
     Commonwealth is hereby ceded to the United States of America
     over that portion of the public road, known as the Emmitsburg
     Road, within the limits of the National Park at Gettysburg, as
     defined by the act of Congress, entitled "An act to establish a
     National Military Park at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania," approved
     the eleventh day of February, Anno Domini one thousand eight
     hundred and ninety-five, extending from the borough line,
     southwesterly, eight thousand two hundred and sixty-three feet
     to the public road known as the Wheatfield Road: Provided,
     nevertheless, That this cession is upon the express condition
     that the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania so far retains concurrent
     jurisdiction with the United States, over that part of said road
     which is hereby ceded, as that all civil and criminal process
     issued under the authority of this Commonwealth may be executed
     thereon, in like manner as if this act had not passed: Provided,
     further, That all offenses against the criminal laws of
     Pennsylvania, committed upon said road, shall remain as before
     cognizable in the courts of this Commonwealth; but nothing
     herein contained shall in any wise interfere with the
     jurisdiction of the United States over any matters embraced in
     the act of Congress establishing said National Park, approved
     the eleventh day of February, Anno Domini one thousand eight
     hundred and ninety-five, nor with any laws, rules, or
     regulations which have been or may be adopted by the Government
     of the United States for the preservation and protection of its
     property and rights in said ceded road, and proper maintenance
     of good order thereon.
