site:-

nation procedure. Before the motion was voted upon, a gentleman in the audience asked for the
names and selling prices of the properties already acquired. A Mr. Dawson, speaking in regard
to his father-in-law's property in the Pineridge addition which the city had purchased, irately
protested the way in which the property was being acquired. He stated that he had had plans
for that property, and it was also a bad place for a park. He added that the price of $5450.
was much too low for this parcel of land. Mr. Anderson spoke about the improper prices paid
for the properties and also added that the city proposed to take 14 feet from one of his
remaining lots, leaving him with a substandard building lot. He suggested that the city pay
him $3000.00 for the lots they needed, but allow him to keep the 14 feet on the remaining lot.
This would amount to 418 ft. for $3000.00, which he said he was willing to offer,at the price.

owners were present, and most were not protesting the park.sites, but rather the value that

moved by Councilman Olds, seconded by Councilman Tuson that another appraiser be hired for

be tabled for 2 months. A roll call vote on this resulted in Councilmen Harrison and Kincaid
voting in favor; all four remaining councilmen against, and the motion fi.i.led. It was noted

and following discussion it was moved by Councilman McGinness, seconded by Councilman Tuson
that proposed Ordinance #1235 be passed, providing for the condemnation action, and a roll
call vote showed all councilmen voting in favor except Harrison. The motion carried.
