The following communication was received from the Board of
.cThe
Works:
Salina, Kansas. February 27, 1931.
Ylr., Herbert Brown,
i City Manager,
Salina, Kansas.
Dear Mr. Brown:
In behalf of the Board of Public Works and in reference to the
proposition of a proposed park west of Thirteenth Street and North
of Grand Avenue offered to the City of Salina by the heirs of the late
Paul Wakenhut, the Board has given consideration to this subject and
on two occasions, have visited the proposed park.
The Board was unanimous in its disapproval of the acceptance
of this proposition on the basis of the amount of property included
in the offer.
It was felt that there was not sufficient open ground for
making this a park adaptable to the future growth of that section of
our city.
It was also felt that a permanent right of way should be
located from Grand Avenue on the extreme west end of the plot with at
least 60 ft.or a drive into the park from that point.
Following our meeting, a trip was made to the site with the
City Engineer who has made up a map of the ground as the Board.seemed
to feel would be required to make this park of value to the City.
We are submitting herewith two blue prints and the Board has
voted to ask you to refer this map to Mr. C. B. Dodge, Executor of
the estate owning this property, and have him submit again to our
City Coranissioners, this proposition on the pr3perty as outlined on
this map.
We believe that the Commission will be justified in asking for
a new offer and cne based on the actual value of this land.
It was felt by the Board of Public Works, that the price asked
was extremely high, and that this property should be offered as out-
lined on the accompanying map, at a better price than was previously
named, because of the great amount of waste ground in the plot.
The entire Board was willing to approve this proposition on
the basis of the revised amount of ground and at a price which will
be reasonable.
We will thank you to place this matter before the City Commis-
sion and obtain authorization to resubmit the proposition to Mr. Dodge.
We shall be very glad to again give the proposition consideration
on completion of the request we are asking for resubmission of the
matter.
We beg to remain,
CLS:K
Yours very truly,
BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
