    The legal description of the boundary deletion is as follows: All 
descriptions are for the Willamette Meridian, Cowlitz County,

angle of 22 deg.-53'-04'' to the end of said curve, thence S 4 deg.-
33'-40'' W a distance of 114.01 feet to the beginning of a curve 
concave to the West, having a radius of 245.21 feet, thence
