property;as a street vacation would be an idle act and not accomplish the
desired effect. After a general discussion by the Council and City Attorney
the Council was asked to determine their pleasure and if they wished to
sell; to determine the price. Since the area in question was considered to
be approximately 1~3 of an acre and Mr. Bruce indicated he had paid X2,650.00
for the surrounding acreage a round figure of X850. was proposed. Another
proposal was for X250. which was generally arrived at as being one third of
the going price for acreage. This price was proposed because none of the
area of the'road in itself represented a buildable area. Mr. Russell indica-
ted his approval of the latter figure as he excused himself early.
Uponan-informal vote of the City Council three preferred the higher rate
~$850.00~ and two the lower rate ~~250.00~. After a thorough discussion to
insure that Mr. Bruce understood the situation and all questions had been
answered, the meeting was adjourned at 8:30 P.M.
