Land Granted For Park Here
By JOE STONE
President Nixon yesterday included in his environment message to Congress the gift of 372 acres of the Navy’s Border Field to the state of California for development as a park. The grant will make possible the development of an international park, a small part of which will be in Mexico. The White House announcement said the grant to the state includes the “entire boundary of Border Field, including one mile of beach frontage and additional frontage on an inland bay.” The bay is the estuary area at the mouth of the Tia Juana River.
