obtained authorizing the City to enter and occupy Lots 1 and 2 of Block
145 for a period of one year from June 11, 1958. He stated that final
acquisition should certainly be completed within that time. The City
Attorney further stated that there had been discussion to the effect
that one or more of Lots 3, 4, 5 and 6 in Block 145 might be acquired
by trading lots on which the City is attempting to quiet title in a.
separate court action. Although such a trade might be possible, the
time required to obtain title to the lots with which to make the trade
would likely delay substantially the time when the Park might be expanded
to include Lots 3, 4, 5 and 6; also that any more building on those lots
would make a trade unlikely and would increase the cost of the acquisition
The City Attorney stated that if it was the.desire of the City Council to
acquire those lots for the immediate expansion of the Park, the most
expeditious way to proceed would be by eminent domain. After discussion,
on motion of Councilman Hart, seconded by Councilman Higbie and carried,
the land acquisition for the proposed Channel Place Park was directed to
be limited to Lots 1 through 7 in Block 244, Lots 1 and 2 in Block 145,
assuming the eventual abandonment of the street in between Block 145 and
Block 244 after title is acquired.
