believe this is the proper time to get councilmanic approval to dispose of this unit to the highest bidder.

Howard to concur in the I~anager~s recontmendation, was 17th - "The attached letter has been received by Hi~ Honor, the Eayor, from the Port~c. outh Housing Authority .~..ith reference to the use of property where the Dale ~ormitories were situated. If this is made into a baseball field, it will require a mini- mu~ of ~,800.00 improvements,to ~hich I recommend that at the end of the year, bonds are to be issued in this amount for other capital improvements.~ Attached - "Reference is made to your recent letter requesting that permission be granted by this Authority for the use of that portion olaY ale Dormitories Project, formerly used as a soft bail diamond, for t_he purpose of la~ng out a baseball diamond. Pez~mission was also requested for the use of the building located at Dale Dormitories oontigu?us to this site. Your request was presented to the Commissioners at thezr last meeting amd they were unanimous in their ~prova! orantzng~ermission for the use of the site desired as a baseball diamond. However, due to the fact that the building desired is still used by this ~cthority in connection with Nainten~uce operations, we are not in a position to grant immediate use of s~ae. With reference to the site desired for a baseball diamond it is doubtful that the property evened by this ~uthority is large enough for that purpose and it is believed that a portion of the outfield of a baseball diamond would t she in the property owned by the Seaboard Air. Line Railway Company. ~e are bringing this matter to yo~ attention in order that you may be fully advised as to the existing conditions. In gr~ ting permission for the use of this pro - perry it is to be understood that in the event it is needed by t~s Authority in the further - ance of its progr~, that s~me will be yielded within a reasonable length of time.
