Indianapolis relatives of st. Clair

Schmidt was one Of the appraisers
appointed by the park board to
value the property.
Writes Letter
In letter to st. Clair, Schmidt
said:
Il have lived in Indianapolis more
than fifty years and have always
been interested in the growth and
development of this city. You we're
connected for many years with
Kingan & Co., in an official Ca
pacity. This company is one of
the outstanding business. concerns
of this city. I understand you have
retired and returned to reside in
Scotland, but of course, you are still
interested in the community where
you prospered in a business way.
Recently Samuel E. Rauh decided
to the city of Indianapolis his home
located just north of Thirtieth street
on Meridian street for library pur-
poses. This home is one Of the
finest homes in this city, and the
citizens are grateful to him for this
contribution to the city, which the
city accepted.

and relatives are still interested in
indianapolis, and as citizen in this
particular part of the city of In

am sure it would be approved by all
the citizens of this city and proper

the park board for your act.
IT have been active in the NUM-

a member of the city council and a
member of the coming board for a
number of years, and therefore am
somewhat familiar with the needs
of the city of indianapolis. I am
certain if you conclude to convey
this property to the city, that I
could arrange with the board of

you may see fit to impose at the
time of your gift.
