Said company owns as a minor part of its assets three small rental houses located upon a small tract in the not -Vast part of Block Six (6), Rucker and Ilodges Addi- tion, within the Urban Renewal area. In order that you may have the full story, you are advised that 30 in association with other Georgetown business people, I beban in .January, 1967, an attempt to acquire the Belford real estate upon which the com- pany yard and headquarters' buildinRa are located. On February 14, a written proposal to purchase was made but no action resulted. On or about June 10th, our group was invited to make an offer to purchase all of the stock of the company. Naturally, we asked for a list of assets and liabilities and at that time, about June 18th, we first learned that any Urban Renewal Area property was involved.. At its meeting ori June 20th, the Belford directors elected to accept our proposal and the group is now consunimating the purchase of all of the stock of the company. Please be assured that in any Urban Renewal Agency action con- cerning the above mentioned rental property, I will disqualify myself and withdraw from the meeting. if you or any member of the Council desire additional information, please ask. You are requested to read this letter to the Council and file same with the minutes of your next meeting.
