CLOSING OF PORTION OF S. RIVER DRIVE ON J. C. BAILE PROPERTY
Mr. J. C. Baile appeared before the Commission in referenoe to closing of portion of
old Avenue M and South River Drive. The streets ih question were closed pursuant to
an agreement between. LIr. Baile and the old City Council whereby Mr. Baile obtained
and furnished to the City an easement across certain property on the river front at
the intersection of old South River Drive and old Eighth street for bridge purposes.
In the passage of the ordinance closing the streets there was an error in the des-
cription, Block A being mentioned as Block 8, and Mr. Baile asked that the Commis-
sion pass another ordinance to amend the old one. After some discussion it was
brought out that the City has no record of an instrument giving the City an ease-
ment across the property mentioned by Mr. Bails nor any record of the agreement be-
tween Lir. Belle and the City. It was the sense of the Commission that action in the
matter be deferred until something more definite could be established.
