If any of the utilities or the City Public Works Department have objections, or requires relocation of lines, this would have to be done at the sole expense of the Church. Likewise, it is possible that St. Mary's Church may have to dedicate certain substitute easements to some of the utilities.

(3) The City of La Porte would expect St. Mary's Church to pay for all of the materials necessary to improve this 400 -foot portion of Bayshore Drive with culvert, lime- stone base, and an asphalt topping, inasmuch as the portion of Katherine Avenue being closed is improved on this basis. An engineer's estimate of the cost of this material is attached to this letter, and totals $6,620.00. The City of La Porte will furnish all necessary labor to construct the street.
