XFINITY Connect Re_ANP island property acquisition, exempting MDI Printout

Re: ANP island property acquisition, exempting MDI
To Emily Pagan Copy Marie Yarborough
Dear Emily,
I hope that within the last six weeks that the ANP park land title files at the Chapman law firm have
successfully come into your hands.
Have they been inventoried? Is it possible for me to examine them when I next visit MDI (that is,
July 12, 25, or 26)? My interest remains focused on those properties off MDI.
All the Best,
Ron

Hi Ron,
You are correct, there is no document that lists the park acquisitions similar to that of the HCTPR's. There also is no document
tracking or summarizing the process and negotiations. Park acquisitions over the years are given unique number IDs (called tract
numbers) and each tract has a file. Very few of these tracts (especially prior to 1944) have any information in them other than the
deed. So, there is very little, if any, information on how they were acquired.
Sorry there is not a more positive answer for you. I will be in the office very little that week, but if you have a specific question
stop by and I can try to help. If it is a more involved question I will most likely need to get back to you so I can put it on my
scheudle. Thanks and take care,
Emily

Dear Emily,
Marie Yarborough has been very helpful to my completion of the Dorr biography. In numerous
talks and interviews a recurring question has involved the federal government acquisition of
island property, exempting MDI.
I
know of no public document that chronologically lists the acquisition of island property through
the end of the Dorr administration (1944). Would you have access to such a record? Might there also
be historic information tracking the negotiation process between donor and the federal government
as there was between ANP and the Hancock County Trustees of Public Reservations?
I'll be visiting MDI the week of May 15th should you like to discuss this further.
Thank you.
