California officials told Ukiah Unified and Grand Jury foreman Francis Gibson they will not allow the district to buy 60 acres of prime MSH farm land for a swap to acquire a new high school site. Supt. Murphy says negotiations continue with owners of 60 acres off Low Gap Road while state denial prompts district disappointment. Gibson released a memo noting Gov Reagan's Dec 31, 1973 letter explaining the state will not sell hospital land for exchange and urging citizens not to lobby legislators for approval of the proposed trade.
