<br />has offered the following proposition to the City;~
<br />
<br /> .'That it as Executor of Francis Richardson, will offer
<br /> the property for sale at public auction to t hehlghest
<br /> bidder, if the City will agree to mal~e a bid on
<br /> separate p&r~els up to the amount o f ts~es due on the
<br /> property. If any one bids higher than the City, the
<br /> taxes-will be paid; otherwise, ~he property will be
<br /> transferred to ~he City. This will save the expense of
<br /> a suit and I understand tha~ there are no funds in the
<br /> hands of the Executor with which to pay the taxes. I am
<br /> told tha~ the creditors of the esZate will lose about
<br /> $6,000.00.
<br /> The City Attorney has recommended tha~ the above be accepted, provided
<br />the City is not required to pay the expense of sale and a good.title is given for the property,
<br />free of any deed of ~rust. It is my recommendation that we proceed with
