<br />thence south 184.6 feet to Lincoln st., sad thence west along Lincoln St. to the beginning.
<br />
<br />This request made because of~th® following reasons:
<br />
<br />(A), The sale of this property to commercial interest would cause
<br /> an i~mediate depreciation in property values of all residen-
<br /> tial property located in close proximity thereto.
<br />(~) The sale of this property to any private interest would cause
<br /> the residents Of Lee Ward to be deprived of a playground, and a
<br /> park, for which this specific property i s now used.
<br />(C) We firmly believe that the sale of this property would interfere
<br /> with public good and general welfare of all residents of Lee
<br /> ~ard, and would be detrimental to the best i;aterests of all.
