he intends to do. The City must have the money in advance,
as previously agreed, before any letter of authorization c~a be

which might be utilised to advantage. It is ~00 ft. of Lake

head line has been fixed, this property would give the City
about 1,000 ft. in depth. There is a 05' E/V~ for egress to

dock, etc. The cost is
~r. Hunter spoke at length in favor of purchase of the

can be bought for ~15,000.00 now and the rest on terms.
