BLUE MESA
PARK ASSURED

The Blue Mesa park at the Half
way house TO be owned jointly b.
Gunnison and Montrose counties, vii,
consist of $50 acres. OF this, Gunni-
son will retain title to I20 acres, in
cluding the. Halfway house at the
junction Of the Big and Little Blue
rivers. Montrose county is paying
Sl-25 per acre for 2s0 acre. The title
being perfected thru this county, 10
be later decided to Montrose, as the
original grant was made to Gunnison
county. This $50 acres will include
the heart of the 1000 acre tract whicf,
Congressman Taylor had set aside
for a permanent park if the county de q.
sired all of it. All legal papers had
to be complete to make the purchase
before August 81, and C. c. McWilli-
ans, county clerk, had them made
out and forwarded Monday of this
week.
This park includes some of the finest
fishing and camping spots on Blue
mesa. 1t is more available to Mont
rose than Gunnison, but this tract Is
needed to economically conduct the
road work, which lies largely in our
county. Public opinion will heartily
support the action of our county auth
.orities in spending the small sum of
$3.50 to secure perpetual title to the
120 acres with its excellent improve
ments.
