Land for Police Station

Upon the recommendation of Assistant
Engineer E. M. Talcott, the Commissioners
have decided to institute at once condemna-
ton proceedings to procure BY purchase a
plot of ground, now included HI the French
estate, adjoining the police slibsta ton at
IenleytoWn, for use as a site for additional
buildings for the substation. . Mr., Talcott
states that he has been unable to come to
a satisfactory agreement with the agent
OF the land for the purchase of thef ground
needed, about 3,4o7 square feet, 9and he
therefore believes condemnation proceed
1ngs should be instituted. The cost of the
land at 20 cents square foot the rate
paid for the original site of the substation,
would amount to about sS64 %, which
amount, Mr.. Talcott says, is within the APP
preparation available.
