<br />~entlemen:-
<br /> - Sometime ago the City decided to acquire the balance 9f Block-36 on the plat of
<br />~rentis Park Oorporation for the purposes of a playground tn Harrzson Ward. In 1922 the
<br />City ~.ager w~s instructed to o~fer the,owners the amount of the assessed value for the lots.
<br />At that time we w~re unable to locate all the owners and those to whom the offer was-made
<br /> · same. There was also at that time some questign o~ ~ ri~t tg_con~emn.l~a~_~ ~-ed

<br /> this, I believe it will be necessary for the City Oouncll to pass the accompanying resolution
<br /> in order that t m~y have Cae proper legal standing in court to condemn the same. I, therefore,

<br />request that the same be passed.
