<br />
<br />offered $600,00 for the
<br />torney be authorized to
<br />
<br /> #AcoompanyLug this is an option for the purchase of lots ? to 23, inclusive,
<br />in block B and lots 1 to 21, inclusive, in block C, shown on the plat of land formerly owned
<br />by the estate of Olivia S.Cooke and now the property of W.K. Hedges and H.A. Irving, being a
<br />total of 39 lots, fronting on Elm and Camden and on Ru~ter St., adjoining the water works pro-
<br />per~y.
<br /> The accompanyimg map clearly defines the property in question.
<br /> I recommend that the said property be purchased f~r-$9,000.OO under the terms
<br />of the option; that Camden Ave. and Rutter S~. be closed; that the tract ofland at the north-
<br />east corner, 200 x 200 ft. be set aside for the Armory site, and that the balance be turned
<br />over to the Water Department for enlargement of its si~e; that an appropria~icn of Water De-
<br />partment funds of $?,000.00, and City General funds of $2,000.00 be made, for the said put -
<br />chase. 'This division is arrived at on a square foot basis, including the s~reets to be closed.
<br /> Mr. Irving agrees to apply all of his proceeds, approximately $~,500.00, to
<br />delinquent taxes, and while not embodied in the terms of the option, it is understood that all
<br />of the proceeds going to Mr. Irving, will be applied to the principal and that penalty and in-
<br />terest on the taxes so paid, will be waived.
<br /> There is a triangular-strip of land 23.2 feet wide, beginning at the north
<br />limits of the above-described land and running south along Elm Ave. 395' to a vanishing point.
<br />It is essential ~hat this strip of land be ac~uire~ and I further recommend that the owner be
<br /> said strip and should the price be not satisfactory, then the City At-
<br /> enter condemnation proceedings.#
<br />
<br /> On motion cf Mr. Hutchins, the recommended appropriation of $?,000.00 f~om
<br />Water Department funds and $2,000.00 from General fund, for said purpose, was adopted, ~nd by
<br />the following vote:
<br />
<br /> Ayes: Fox, Howard, Hutehins, Lawrence, Warren, Weiseman, Wilson ~
<br />
<br />Nays: None.
<br />
<br />On mo~ion adjourned.
