Reference is made to the proposed relocation of the south wing of
building No. 1, buildings No. 2, No. 3, No. 5 and Noo 11, located
at the Naval and Marine Corps Reserve Training Center, Little Rock,
Arkansas, and the modification of Lease Noy(R) -44097 at War Memorial
Park to further the construction of the East West Expressway.
It is understood that legislation has been introduced in Congress to
add $90,000.00 to the Navy and Marine Reserve Forces funds to accom-
plish the moving of the above buildings. The authorizing legislation
will provide for the modification of the lease to delete therefrom the
land needed for the highway right -of -way.
During a meeting in the Office of the Chief of Staff, Eighth Naval
District, on 27 July 1965, you stressed the necessity that the Navy
proceed and move its buildings and modify the lease in order that the
awarding of construction contracts for the Expressway would not be
delayed.
The Navy will, of course, do everything it can to expedite the removal
of the buildings. However, as you were advised, the Navy can enter
into a contract only after the funds for that contract have been
appropriated.
Your suggestion that the City of Little Rock advance the $90,000.00 to
the Navy for the relocation of the above mentioned buildings, with
the understanding that these funds would be reimbursed to the City if
and when Federal appropriations therefor become available, has been
thoroughly considered.
It has been determined that upon receipt of a check for $90,000.00,
made to the Treasurer of the United States, from the City of Little
Rock, the Director, Gulf Division, Bureau of Yards and Docks will
proceed without delay to enter into contracts for the relocation of
the buildings at the Naval and Marine Corps Reserve Training Center
from the proposed East-West Expressway right -of -way. A Bight of Entry
r,
61 /ACW /ve
to the City of Little Rock And its assigns to enter upon the proposed
right -of -way in order to commence preliminary work on the Expressway
will be provided.
When and if the Federal appropriation of $90,000.00 for the moving of
the buildings is made available to the Navy, the $90,000.00 will be
reimbursed to the City of Little Rock and Lease NOy(R)-44097 will be
modified to delete therefrom the land required for the East -West
Expressway.
As Federal money will be involved in both the moving of the buildings
and the construction of the Expressway, it behooves all concerned to
accomplish this construction in-the most economical manner. Paragraph
8 of Lease NOy(R) -44097 provides that the Government, if required by
the Lessor, shall, before the expiration of this lease, restore the
premises to the same condition as that existing at the time of entering
upon the same under this lease, provided the Lessor requires such
restoration. The Lessor must give written notice thereof to the
Government twenty days before the termination of the lease.
The Navy will remove its buildings from the right -of -way, but it is
believed that your highway contractors, with their heavy equipment, will
be able to remove the floor slabs and foundations of the buildings much
cheaper than can the Navy's contractors. With this in mind, it is re-
quested that the City of Little Rock agree to waive its right of
restoration of the premises as to the Expressway right -of -way.
If any additional information is required please so advise.
Very truly yours,
7.....-
