In this letter you state that my client 18 us1ng 17 feet and 7 inches of the right-of-way of Cleveland Street and that you would like for my client to oease using the City property. In view of tho fact that this property i3 situated a considerable distanoe tram the main business district of the City I do not see what use the City will have for this property a t the present time. Furthermore, 1n order to determine the exact amount of encroaohment, if any, it will be necessary for a survey to be had ot said pr&m1ses. Regardless of the above situat10n my client is w111ing and now requests that the C1 ty lease to them tha t part of the property which they are using and which the City owns. My c11ent will be willing to pay a reasonable rental for said prem1sa= and I wll1 appreoiate you taking this matter up be:fore the next meeting of the City Commission and advising me of their decision.
