in which the City of Santa tIonica offers 2'14,400.00
for lots U:O and l~l, Tract No. ~)7,95.
Although this figure is several hnndred dollars
lower than the amount we believe is reason~ble for
these lots, the difference is not great and the
price of t14,400.00 will be accepted.
Also acceptable arc the terms ~s stated. It will
he in oT'der for the Option to Purchase form to be
prepared an~ sent me.
Very truly yours,

Dear Mr. McKelveyt
I have your letter of Febrttary' 28, 1948, in reply- to
rq letter to you of February 25, 1948, in whioh the City offered
you $12,000.00 for Lots 120 and 121, Tract No. 2385.
WhUe I reel that the prioe 19hioh the City haa offered
tor this propert.y would be upheld by- condemnation proceedings through
the courts, since two of our best appraisers agreed upon the price
oftered, in order to avoid the delay of the oondemnation proceedings,
the City would be willing to paY' an additional sum of 20% in excess
of the price offered, or a total of $14,400.00 for the lots. This
latter amount will be made &s our final ofter. This amount is more
than the ditference between your asking price and the original otter.
If you would care to discuss this matter with me tur-
ther, wil1 ;you please contact me at my ottice at the City Hall, or
call santa Mol1JDa 4-2771, Station ;8.
It you teel that 10U can aocept, thi. otter, our City
Attorney will prepare an Option to Purchase tom to be sent to ;you
for your signature with the understanding that the City will pq
cuh for this propert.y u soon atter July 1, 1948, .. posaible, at
1Ih1ob time twld, will be appropriated for this purehue.

Dear Sir:
In reply to your let;ter of February 25, your offer of
$12,000.00 for Lots 120 and 121, Tract Ne. 2~85, is
noted and also the purpose to which the property will
be put by the City of Santa l~onica.
\t\Jb.ile it is not my intention to obstruct or delay the
furtherance of this project, I believe the offer of
$12,000.00 to be a little low. I think a fair Drice
, would be ~15,000.OO for the two lots, in view both of
offers that have been made to us within recent months
and of our investment in initial cost plus taxes over
a number of years.
Were it not for the fact that the City itself wishes
the property, I would not consider releasing title,
but would do as origianlly planned -- build my home
on the property because I still think Santa Monica is
a fine place in which to live.
Trusting that the above is the information you desired,
I am, ~ tff:'9:r.~
Very truly yours,

Dear Mr. HcKeJ.vey:
Reference is made to our former' correspondence rela-
tiw to the acq11isition or tots 120 and l2l, Tract }to. 2385, for
the use by the City in the development of a greater reservoir
capacity needed for the City's water supply. These lots have
been awraised by two of the best qualified appraisers in Sa.nl;a
MOnica, and the City Council has authorized me to make 10U an
otter, based upon this appraisal, of $6,000.00 for each of these
lots, or a total of $12,000.00 :for the two lots.
It is the desire or the City to acquire this propertj
by negotiation, but if we should :fail in that, our only oourse is
to acqu.:i.re by condemnation for public use.
In order that we might discuss this matter further, I
1IOlIld appreo1ate it. it ;you wouJ.d call nw for an appointment a.t your
earliest. cQIlV(ilD.ience 8iO that the matter migbt. be brougbt to a con-

Dear Sir:
Although the surprise o.f the news yo.u related to. us
last Saturday regarding the City'S plan o.f building an under-
gro.und reservoir atop Franklyil avenue has abated so.mewhat,
the news that our property is invalved is still a keen disap-
po.intment. we've had hause plans and landscaping plans
co.mpleted and fully intended to build on the lets just as soon
as we could.
We thaught, and still think, that our pro.perty is
chaice residential graund, and indeed, yau must have thaught
so., too, o.therwise yau wo.uld net be living close by.
We've had the pro.perty in the family since the eEirly
Twenties, have never had it o.n the market fo.r sale, never
listed it with any real estate agent anywhere, but have kept it
paying taxes and assessments thinking that o.ne day we'd build
and have that. as cur permanent ho.me. V~ definitely prefer
no.t to. sell.
In this co.nnectio.n, may we paint cut again that o.nly
a few feet away is pro.perty that is as extensive in area,
equally as hi.gh in elevatio.n, and is about in the same geagraph-
ical relationship to. the present reservo.ir as are cur lots.
Furthermore, the owners, if contacted, may all be willing to
dispose o.f their land. We're hoping yau will consider this
po.int. .
Also, we feel that we have been the victims o.f the very
unfair po.licy af some real estate agencies in placing their
signs o.n the lo.ts withaut consulting us. Is it not possible
that the "For Sale" signs led the water commission to. select aur
lo.ts without lacking further o.r chaasing alternative property
-'
In o.ur conversatio.n of Saturday a week ago, you sug-
ges'tea we consider the vacant lots in back of us and facing
Berkeley Street as building sites. We have looked at them and
do. not believe they are desirable far cur purpose because o.f the
fifteen to twenty foat embankment at the sidewalk.
Hoping that yau will present our feelings in the matter
as expressed in this letter to. tho.se interested, we are
Very truly yaurs,
~(f?~~~
