Brunswick, Ca, June "a, 1909.
Hon Mayor and Council
Brunswick. Ca
Gentlemen. Your standing commit
tee on public works, buildings. GEM
eteries. parks and squares, which. in
conjunction with the city attorney,
was directed in terms Of a resolution
offered by the mayor and adopted by
council on April %. 1909, to prepare
a bin to be introduced at the an-
authorizing and empowering the
mayor and council to convey by quit
claim deed to The board of education
Of Glynn county. the parcel OF land
known rs aillsE0ro square. which bin
when drawn. and approved by sail
committee. was TO be advertised as
required by law and delivered 10 out
representative, Hon. Willard Reese,
with request that he procure the
passage Of said bill, begs 70 report
that we have never requested the city
attorney to prepare the bill for the
reason that athe board of education
has never requested a deed to the
property; on the contrary, in open
council meeting during February or
March Of the present year when the
construction of the schoolhouse build
ing VAS under discussion, the board
of education through their represen-
tatiyes at the meeting stated that
they did not want a deed to it. We
therefore see no necessity OF making
deed at this time. The city attor-
ney's written opinion is OF file with
this body, to the effect that the city
holds the title to it, and we see no
good reason why the city should vol
unfairly relinquish any further rights
in and to the property, than that per-
mitted in allowing the construction OF
the high sci DOL building in the south
ern half of the square If the board
Of education should formally request
a deed 10 the half whereon stands
the rev school building, We see no
reason why II should rot be given,
bnt in our Judgment the subject is
not OF enough Importance 20 be rush
ed through the present session of the
legislature, there being ample time
in the future, ii indeed it be neces-
sa9y at all We therefore recommend
that further action be deferred until
the board OF education takes formal
action. Respectfully,
C. T. Calnan, Chairman,
j. H. Leo,
Chas. n. Taylor,
Committee on Public Works, Bldgs,
Gem, Parks and Squares.
From public works committee on
communication from j. II. Gilmore,
with reference to obstruction OF alley

viz: After consulting with owners Of

bright. who now has the alley closed,

until that time will provide an en-
trance for Mr.. Gilmore through gate.
No one else being affected by the
