City of Clearwater Florida Gentlemen: A ttentlon Mr. George W. Sm1 th 01 ty Attorney We represent the heirs of George R. Smoyer, owners of Lots 5 and 6 of Earll and Tate's SUbdivision, Clearw8ter, upon which is situated the premises known as the Legal BUilding. On JW1e 28, 1912 J. R. Jeffords and wife and G. R. Smoyer and \\life, then owners of 1he property, oonveyed the north. ten teet ot said lots to the Town of Clearwater, which instrument of oonveyanoe was recorded 1n ~u1t Olaim Deed Record 2, page 129, Pinellas 'County reoords. The deed oontained the follo~ing s~tement: "Be it provided thot the said town of Clear- water shall be the legal and eq uiteble 'owner of tue above described property, as long as said land shall be used for the purpose of iii publio alley, and men said land is no longer used for the purpose of a public alley, 1 t shall revert back ~o tba owner of the property from whioh it was taken." The north t en feet of all of the lots f'rom Osoeol& .Avenue through Lot 5 \YaB deve~oped and used as an alley, but the north ten feet of Lot 6 has never been used as an alley since the date of the deed a bove mentioned. This statement has been verified by the unanimous concurrence of a number of longtime residents of the city. The aotual course of the alley has been to the north from the east end of Lot 5 to Laura street. It 1s the contention of the present owners of Lots 5 and 6 that, since the north ten feet of Lot 6 \Vas never used as an alley, no title thereto was ever vested in the To~ of Clearwater, and even if it was vested with title, it was immed1a tely re1inquished by virtUB of the :raillU'e to use the property for the purpose or a public ul~ey. , The present o~ners of this property are desirous of clearing :this cloud from the title to their property, and, in order to avoid the necessity of bringing a court aotion to quiet ,the title to the property, request is hereby ~de that the Oity of Olearwater quit-claim its interest, i1' any, to the north ten feet of Lot 6 as above described. This letter is submitted in triplicate, with acoompanying sketches to illustrate the matter in question. Respectfully yours, William M. Goza, Jr. * * * J. A.
