Chandler Harper in regard to the above-referenced subject and to redraft said lease in a manner agreeable to Mr. Harper which would "put in effect the original intent of council". In accordance with said resolution, I met with Mr. Harper and his attorney, Charles W. Best, at the offices of Kaufman, Oberndor~er 5 Spainhour on-May 1, 1973. At such meeting various amendments to said lease were exhaustively explored, but no conclusions were reached. Mr. Harper consented to consult further with his attorney and communicate his desires for said lease at a later date. On May 3, 1973, my assistant was informed by Mr. Best that Mr. Harner felt that an amendment of his present lease and the consequent acceptance of leasehold tax liability was not desirable, because the amount of said liability could not be guaranteed. Such being the case, further efforts in this direction would appear to be fruitless.
