CI T ( MA;'lAGER <br />Q;:-F1CE <br /> <br />Mr. And olf, Realtor <br />operties <br />est Main street <br />Porte, TX 77571 <br /> <br /> <br />Re: Lots 1-16, Block 1151, Town of La Porte <br />Harris County, Texas. <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Rolf: <br /> <br />I represent the City of La Porte as its City Attorney. The City of <br />La Porte has determined that it requires the acquisition of the <br />above described real property in the City of La Porte, for public <br />park purposes. <br /> <br />I enclose a copy of an appraisal letter from John E. Fox, SRPA, <br />SRA, Real Estate Appraiser of Houston, Texas, who has appraised the <br />property at $27,500.00. <br /> <br />I have been authorized by the City of La Porte to make a cash offer <br />of $27,500.00 to the owner of the property. I have obtained a <br />title commitment, copy of which is enclosed, from American Title <br />Company in Deer Park, Texas, Ms. Lucy Dover, Escrow Officer, which <br />shows legal title in Phillip smith and wife, Ethel Mae Smith. It <br />is my understanding that Phillip Smith, also known as King Phillip <br />smith, is deceased, and that his will left the property to his <br />wife. I am having the title company update the title commitment. <br /> <br />Please present this offer to Ms. Ethel Mae Smith, through Mr. Bill <br />Glaw, Realtor in League City, Texas, with whom I understand she has <br />an exclusive listing on the property. <br /> <br />This offer is subject to final title approval by American Title <br />Company, of marketable title, with no liens or encumbrances. The <br />seller would be responsible for real estate commissions under her <br />listing agreement, and for usual seller title company expenses. <br />Taxes would be prorated to date of closing. The City of La Porte <br />would require a General Warranty Deed from the seller. <br /> <br />Thank you for your kind assistance in this matter. <br /> <br /> <br />ox W. Askins <br />City Attorney <br />City of La Porte <br />
