I suggest that you take this matter up with the Mayor and have him present it to the Council at the next meeting. I find the deed is in proper form and will carry out the problem you have in mind. Very truly yours, CITY ATTORNEY s/s By Ed. I. McKinley, Zr. ED :fr Encl. COPY 915 Rector Building Little Rock, Arkansas November 5, 1936 Mr. E. I. McKinley, City Attorney, Wallace Building, City Dear Ed: The Roselawn Memorial. Cemetery donated a strip of land along the south border, to the City of Little Rock , for the purpose of constructing Roosevelt Boulevard. This strip was of irregular width, in order to provide for construction of the viaduct across the Missouri Pacific Railroad tracks. Now that the street is completed, it becomes evident that due to a change in plans , all of the land deeded by the Cemetery Association is not and will not be used for street purposes. The Cemetery Association is planning to build a suitable entrance to its property from Roosevelt Highway and wish to place this entrance at the proper distance from the highway and finds that in order to do this, it is desirable that the excess property above described be return- ed to the Cemetery for this purpose. I enclose herewith a quit claim deed, prepared for the transfer of this property from the city to the Cemetery Association and a small map lowing by the proper symbol the property covered by said deed. This letter is to request you to please prepare a suitable resolution for the Council to authorize the transfer of this land back to the Cemetery Association. For your further information, will say that this matter has been discussed with the City Engineer and he is in favor of this transfer. Yours very truly, Alfred M.
