South Ell Paso street, purchased by Jo-
seph L. Kopf some months ago. will be

his approval Of the plan, but he makes
q generous offer. explained in the fol-
lowing extracts from his letter:
Il note in The FL Paso Herald your
statement with reference to property
owners on Rio Grande street not being
very enthusiastic with reference TO
parking the street, and that they are
not paving I'D as promptly as might be
expected. For your information, 1 am
a property holder on Rio Grande street,
and regret that I am not familiar with
the working of the property owners
enough to send you my check for my
part at this time, but would thank you
to advise me what is expected Of the
property owners, and assure you that 1
will be glad to do my part, and do any
thing that is agreeable to the majority.
