sistance payment program in Laurel on the property which the citg presently
owns, to trait
Lots 11, Z2, 13, 1!t ~.nd 15 Block 1t
Lots 11 through 2D inclusive in Block 1!~
Lots 11 through 20 inclusive in Block l~
A11 of Yellowstone Addition to City of Laur~1~ Montana.
T have pr~eiously~ di~eussed with the City Attorney the possibility of op-
tioni~g this property but to avoid a possible d~la~ in resolving this m~t-
ter, Z am now prepared to purchase the ground ontri~ht to initiate the
planning for this housing for the elderly development. Z wo~.l.d like to pay ~
ten percent of the $37,500 (Thirty-Seven Thous~.nd Five Hundred Dollars) I
down ($3~75~) ~or~r and the remainder in one year. I hope these terms are
acceptable to you.
