Carlos L. Sistrunk, City Attorney,
Ocala. Fla: Dear Sir-Referring to
your inquiry about the proposition
asked for to sell the property of Ocala
Water Company to the city I beg to
say that the delay in submitting such
proposition has been occasioned by the
necessity of comforting with the diff
ferent holders of bonds issued by the
water company. In agreeing upon a
proposition these bond holders of
course have to be consulted. I hope
within the next few days to be able to
submit something definite.
Yours very truly.
r. L. Anderson.
