G LAND ACQUISTION


It is unlikely that the descendents of the Earle family that now own land around Dry Lake in Sections 1 and 2 would ever be willing to sell any of their in-holdings within the Simmons Woods property. Also, the three small private parcels in Section 22 that are in-holdings are unlikely to be offered to the state for purchase as there are cabins or residences on them. There is a possibility that the 80 acres in Section 21 and the 230 acres in Section 22 owned by Michigan Limestone Company could be purchased. They would have to be contacted to see if they are interested in disposing of these parcels. We would also have to have funds available.
