Legislature slow in buying private land in the park sector
Texas spent about 450000 on a paved highway toward Big Bend from Marathon while the legislature funded little to buy private parcels inside the parks. Park Ranger George H. Shelly said the state has 1500000 in lands but still lacks 16000 acres of the original 707895. He noted the National Park Service avoids acquisitions where private holdings can rise in value with improvements.
