- Reports that the Conservation Club purchased land from Warren Townsend to further a game-refuge and experimental-station program, and says the Club then owned all of Hi-Island except one acre belonging to Holy Cross Church, for which it was negotiating. It does not provide a deed, parcel survey, complete ownership history, program plan, or completed transfer of the church acre.
