Re: Lots 1-6, and Lots 23-31, Town of La Porte,
Harris County, Texas.
D~ar Dr. Sawyer:
I understand that LPISD is in discussions wi th the City of La
Porte, to obtain the above described property for a school site.
As this site is presently being used for park purposes by the City
of La Porte, I have prepared and would appreciate your presenting
to your Board of Trustees meeting on December 9, 1997, a resolution
finding a public necessity for the acquisition of this property.
When passed, please furnish me wi th a certif ied copy of the
resolution.
I have prepared a special warranty deed and a resolution for
consideration by La Porte City Council at its meeting of December
8, 1997, authorizing the sale. I have obtained a title commitment
from American Title Company in Deer Park, Texas, which shows good
marketable title in the City of La Porte. After the resolutions
are passed, the sale can close at American Title Company.
Please call me if you have any questions.

Yours yery truly, .
