SUBJECT: Deeds from I. 1.F.
DATE: February 20, 1962
On July 6~ 1961, E. B. Casler Jr. received from the
attorney's office 1. I. F. deeds }lumbered 22685t1Atr-l,
22685-A Corrective, and 226d6-AJ'Thesc &eeds were all
to the City of Clearwater relating to submerged lands
opposite the auditori.um.
Vie are unable to locate No. 22685"A"-1. V
We have found 22685-A Corrective in the files of the
Pinellas County Title Co. which had issued a receipt
to Casler, Douglas & Baxter.
No. 22686-A is in your office.
It is believed that these deeds should be in the files
of this office and hope that you will take the necessary
steps to recover them. To the best of my knowledge they
were not recorded in the courthouse, but I believe that
we deeded out to Smith a portion of the property included
in the above deeds.
I am attaching hereto the original receipt from the
Pinellas County Title Co. to Casler, Douglas & Baxter.

Mr. Herbert M. Brmvn,
City Attorney,
Ci ty Hall,
Clearwater, Florida.
Dear I'iIr. Brown:
Thi s morning I deli V(~red to ;,rou one of t."1 e hm deeds
for which you hold by receipt covering lands on the north side
of the so-called "Smith Finger".
I enclose herewith the original of the receipt from
the Pinellas County Title Company for the other deed and I
would appreciate your having your secretary send me my receipt.
You will recall that the deed I delivered this morninq
should be recorded, and I suggest that you talk with my partner,
Lawrence Douglas, before req'uesting IIr. Livingston to record
the deed nOl:l in the hands of the Ti tIe Company. It is Douglas'
opinion that the title is more clearly established now than it
would be li the deed were recorded because of the reservations
of the mineral rights, etc., '\'7hich have already been released
to the City by another instrument.
I aHait your pleasure in delivering the executed deed
which I left with you that you passed on to the engineering
department for clearance.
~:J'i th kind regards,
EBC/vdB
Very truly yours,
