This is a trangular piece 9..16 feet on McEvoy, 119.19 feet on Madrone and 151 .feet at the rear. It is assessed for $lkOO, has $90 delinquent taxes and 0609.29 street assessment against it. This lot is across the street from Fleishman Park and in the opinion of the Real Estate Committee not desirable for parking purposes: The Library Board had been approached as to possible use as site for branch library. The committee is of the opinion that property should be sold so the City can get their money out of this property; the committee will report further at a later meeting.
