Your committee, to whom was refer
red the purchase of strip of land one
hundred feet wide lying north of and
adjacent to the present harbOr, for the
purpose of improving and widening the
harbor, would respectfully report, that
we procured an abstract of title to said
premises, and find that Frederick
Mygatt and William Mygatt have such
title thereto as to make it absolutely
necessary to obtain deed from them
in order to have such title as the gov
eminent will accept
We also thought best to obtain
quit claim deed from George S. Bald
win and wife, which was executed and
delivered to us by them free of charge.
We also find it necessary to obtain
deed from z. Ct. Simmons and wife to a
small strip of land off the south end of
lots number thirty three and thirty
four of Washington Island. A deed for
the same has been prepared, and we
are promised it's execution and delivery
| free of charge.
We further report that we have
obtained warranty deed from Fred
erick and William Mygatt, and that we
have paid therefore the sum of two
thousand dollars; that the same could
not be obtained for a less sum, and
that the government would not accept
the title without a deed from them.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
Dated CHS 10Th day of January, A.
