Dear Mr. Albrecht:
This is in response to your letter ot February 2, 1989, to Ms. Aline
Cook concerning that portion ot what you term North Madison Street
(on our maps as North I Street) adjacent to Block 477. The City ot
Morgan's Point, tollowing a tormula used by the City ot La Porte, de-
termined the value of North H Street, which Mr. Charles Boyle seeks
to have closed, at seventy-tive cents per square toot. The section
ot I Street involved in Ms. Cook's request is 266 teet by 60 teet.
Halt ot this would be 7,980 square feet; the price would be $5,985.
Please let me know whether the City ot La Porte desires to purchase
this at the above price.
