derstand it, is not able to buy One-half
of Lot No. Is at this time. The owner
of Lot No. Is is buying his home on
contract and he has advised me that
he is very anxious to buy part of Lot
II but that he is not able ito do 81
just now.
Since the tax sale Of last Nav am
not permitted to give deeds to q nor.
ton Of any lot without paying taxes
OH the whole lot; therefore, / could
Dot give you deeds to a portion of Lot
No. Is and portion Of Lot No. IA
without paying the entire tax on each
lot. | would suggest, therefore. that
the City purchase from me Lots Nos
IL. II and 10, and then f you wish me
to do so at a later date I win endeavor
tc sell to the adjoining owners tha,
portion Of Lots Nos. ID and * that
you do not require. At that time Won
will know just exactly how much land
the street will take and what you win
have left for sale.
These three lots are included in the
lots that l am selling to Cant. Strand
for house construction, but I have
seen Captain Strands Building Super.
intendent and he thinks the CANAAN
will consent to have these three lots
excepted so that the City may have
them.
All lots on Fifteenth Street are be.
ing put into the Housing at $1,000 per
foot. l, however, under the circum.
stances, am willing to make the price
to the City $500 per foot. Being on
feet. the full consideration would no
81, $4,000.
As to the disposition OF this 81 80
90, the unpaid taxes. on these three
lots amount to, in round figures, about
$636.OO The rebate on account of ra-
hitting interest and penalties on de.
linquent special assessments would
amount to in the neighbOrhOod of about
$1,000 that the City will refund to me
at some later date. This $4,000 an
proximate figure, deducted from the
81 5000 purchase price, would leave
balance due me of about S714.OO.
Now / suggest that 1 give q deed TO
the City for these three lots, and after
you have received the deed, the CITY
pay for me the unpaid taxes to date
On these three lots. i would like TO
have the money paid in and receipt
taken in my name so it will conform to
the methods that 1 am employing in
making out income tax reports. Now |
Twill have, Us stated above. an equity
Of about $714.00. In order to be OF
some benefit TO the City and to helm
myself, the City can draw a check 10
the County Treasurer for this balance
Of approximately $714O0 or whatever
amount actually figures out to be. and
on receipt of that check 1 will take the
same over to the County Treasurer
and pay all of it out and little more
by paying all my taxes to date on Lots
Nos. 40, Il, "A and 20 in the same
Subdivision. By doing this, this will
leave all the money with you except
the small amount that the State re-
tains. And / might add also that when
L receive the rebates on account of the
cancellation Of interest and penalties
on special assessments on all seven Of
these lots, l will use that, too, to pay
some taxes on some lots In the same
subdivision, and that check likewise
can be drawn to the County Treasurer,
| if you wish.

to the City Council in answer to their
