Cline: Herewith is a small Plat of six lots, lying in the Northeastern corner of the City, which belonged to Wm. H. Cranford , who died about two years ago. At that time, these lots had not been surveyed out, though he had contracted to sell what is now Lots 1 and 2 and been paid something on them. After I was appointed Administrator of this small estate, I found that before I could sell this plat of ground, I must have it surveyed, since it lies within the city limits . I had Mr . T. H. Clement survey it , and here is his map or Plat he gave me after surveying it . All I want to do is to get this approved, if possible so I can sell this plat of ground and get rid of it . I have had Mr . R#gely, the City Engineer to approve it , and also Mr • Ellis of the City Park Department approve it, and now I will thank your board or Commission to approve it. Then I will try to get the City Council to approve it . Thanking you, I am Yours truly, *d"1/1''.(J ohn P. Marrs , Administrator . ra Lip• HNC`, to.1 I;. iI yw .
