We will deed to the city a strip 'commencing 29 feet and 9 inches north of the S. E. corner of our lot where the present building stands, known as the Berliner Hof, thence running diagonally to the corner where the lot now squares and turns west on First Street, upon the follow- ing condition: First — Two Thousand dollars ($2,000.00) in cash. Second —That the remaining por- tion of lots Nos. 529 and 530 and the improvements added thereto be as- sessed at no more than heretofore for a period of twenty -five years. Third —That the street be paved and placed in as good condition as First Street and Iowa Street are at present and that curbing and cement walks be laid on the portion so deed- ed at the expense of the City; after which we will assume the usual rela- tions of abutters. Fourth —That permission be grant- ed under the usual conditions to the C., M. & St. P. R. R. Co., or the I, C. R. R. Co., as we may elect to lay a track across First Street onto the south part of lots Nos. 529 and 530, remaining the required distance from the track now located in the alley. The street as described will take from us 29 feet 9 inches of frontage on Iowa Street and will give you a space about 23 feet wide from out- - side rail to curb at the narrowest point and allow 6 feet for sidewalk and curbing. It will require the removal of the hotel property which we propose shall be done at our expense. As we want to proceed with our plans it is important that this should be accepted or rejected not later than the 20th inst. Very truly yours, McFadden Coffee & Spice Co. By J. M. McFadden, President.
