easement has been created by implied dedication over 2 . 4 miles
of beach and bluff property in Huntington Beach, owned by the

property for public park use in perpetuity; and
Legislation has been successfully sponsored by Assembly-
man Badham and Senator Carpenter for appropriation of funds
for acquisition by the State of California of the Capistrano
