Dear SIR
Doubtless you understand that
the offer Of two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars (S250.co0) made
by the corporation of Elizabeth
City, for the purchase of the
holdings of the Utilities Compan-
les has expired by reason Of the
refusal of said companies to ac-
CcDt the offer within the time set
forth for which the offer held
good. and by further reason OF
the refusal of said companies to
accept the offer as set out in the
resolutions accompanying your
letter of August 18th, and the
subsequent rejection of all COBn-
ter proposals Of which you have
been advised. but as this under
standing may not be positively IN
drrStOOd, ! am writing to advise
that the original offer Of two hun
drcd and fifty thousand dollars

drawn and you will govern your
self accordingly.
