COLLEGE PLACE LOTS

(14) The Comptroller reports that in accordance with the action of the Board he has carried out your instructions concerning the purchase of lots owned by Miss Sherfy in College Place. The owners were willing to allow us to anticipate an extra payment which we have the opportunity of making every two months, and in order to solidify our control, I agreed that this should be done and ask for an appropriation of $14,500 from the Reserve and Contingent Fund to cover this extra payment.
