<br />
<br />COMMUNICATION FROM CITY ATTORNEY - RE:
<br />COVERING PROPERTY DESIRED FOR PARK PURPOSFS
<br />AS FOLLOWS:
<br />
<br />PROPOSED CONTRACTS WITH STATE HIGHWAY COMMISSION
<br />BY THE CITY AT JUDKINS POINT, WAS SUBMITTED AND READ
<br />
<br />I
<br />
<br />"I HAVE EXAMINED THE PROPOSED CONTRACTS WHICH AM ENCLOSING HEREWITH, AND MY ONLY
<br />SUGGESTION WOULD BE TO TRY AND GET A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME WITHIN WHICH TO SURRENDER OUR
<br />POSSESSION. IT WOULD APPEAR TO ME THAT THE CITY COULD NOT RISK A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF
<br />MONEY ON JMPROVEMENTS IF THE TENANCY COULD BE CANCELLED ON NINETY DAYS NOTICE. As A
<br />PRACTICA(MATTER THE HIGHWAY COMMISSION WOULD PROBABLY GIVE THE CITY MORE THAN NINETY DAYS
<br />NOTICE SHOULD THEY DESIRE TO USE THE PROPERTY, AND IF THE CITY WOULD REFRAIN FROM MAKING
<br />ANY IMPROVEMENTS UNTIL THE NEW CUT-OFF IS ACTUALLY CONSTRUCTED, WE WOULD THEN BE IN A
<br />POSITION TO KNOW EXACTLY HOW MUCH OF THE LAND WOULD BE UTILIZED BY THE COMMISSION. IT IS
<br />MY OPINION THAT IN THIS CONTRACT THE ~ITY HAS NOTHING TO LOSE THIS TIME AND THAT THE COMMI-
<br />SSION IS GRANTING SOMETHING OF GREAT VALUE."
<br />
<br />IT WAS MOVED BY GODLOVE, SECONDED BY WELLS THAT THE COMMUNICATION AND PROPOSED CONTRACTS BE
<br />REFERRED TO THE HEALTH AND RECREATION COMMITTEE. MOTION CARRIED.

<br />- . ,
<br />HENCE, IN ORDER TO PARK THE GRE~TEST NUMBER OF CARS DURING ~HEIR SERVICES; PARK HEAD-ON

<br />TO SIDEWALK ON BOTH SIDES OF THIS DEAD END STREET, THEREBY MAKING FOR A BETTER, SAFER PARKING
<br />SPACE FOR THE CHURCH CONGREGATION; WHICH GREATLY APPRECIATE THIS COOPERATION.
<br />
