Now, Mr. Weller says. the prop
erty is owned by him and he wants
the city to give a quit claim deed
TO the property in accordance with
the contract OF 1918 with Mr.
Hubbs.
Bat before doing this, the city
referred the matter to the city at
torney, w. A. Keleher to see If the
property that Hubs was to have
decided to the city had ever beer
dedicated in accordance with the
agreement. Possible complications
NAV arise later if the city does moi
have the deed to the present alley
it was pointed out.
II Weller has not received his
deed, it is possible the city has moi
received a deed, the commissioners
believed.
Reference to the minutes OF
council meetings in 1913 showed
that the city had approved the
contract for the swap Of alleys
and that David Weller had beer
Instructed to arrange the transfer
of deeds.
