factorily and recommended that a

gone into the matter as thoroughly as
possible with the following results:
In block 26, Whiteside's Addition,
we found that the best price that we
could get on the three lots owned by
Mr.. Phillips was 100000 as it stands,
or SO, 500 90; he to remove the house.
We understand that Mr.. Desjardine's
price for his lot and house is SO. 900 90.

bought for $4,000. In block 81
Whiieside's addition. we secured an
option from Mr.. Sartori on two lots
at price of 100000, and found that
Mr.. Joe Mantel would not sell his two
lots on the corner for less than
81, OOO. 90 or 81, SOC. 90 and he to remove
the house from the lots. The remain
