<br /> Frieman, This property was~eleased to the City for the purpose of develo
<br /> ing a playground for the Jefferson Street School, however, this.planwas later abandoned be -
<br /> cause of the wa~ and the~prope~ty was required for a m6re essehtial p~*pose at the time,

<br /> hearted co-operation of the City M~ager, City Engineerm~d Superintendent of the Water De -
<br /> partment in smsisting us with the preliminary s~dies incident to this project,
<br /> The provision of modern moderate cost housing in such close
