REPORT OF CITY ATTORNEY IN RE: ALICE PITCHER PROPERTY MATTER REFERRED TO CITY MANAGER The City Attorney reported that the Abstract of Title of the property purchased by Mrs. Alice Pitcher clearly shows that the property in question was condemned for street pur- poses, and that after injunction was made permanent by Judge Branning in testing out an ordinance passed by the old City Council in reference to old Avenue B, parties convey- ing this property had dune nothing more than convey a public street. The City Attorney was of the opinion that the City was not liable for any claim in connection therewith, and further that the City could legally make no payment out of any appropriation other than the appropriation for Charity, provided the ease warranted such action. After some discussion the matter was referred to the City Manager to investigate and determine whether or not the case warranted the payment of money from the Charity Fund with in- struction to report back to the Commission.
