"July 26, 1948 Ge ntl em en: Basing my examination upon Abstract of Title ~93 prepared by Seminole County Title and Abstract Company under date of June 24th 1933 and reoertlfied by Title Guaranty and Abstract Company from June 24,1933 to July 12, 1948, I wish to advise that I have examined the title to the following described lots, pieces or oarcels of land situate in Seminole County, Florida, to-wit: · Beginning 76 feet west of the east line of Palmetto Avenue, and 613.2 feet north of the south line of Commercial Street according to E R Trafford's ~,iap of the Town of Sanford, Florida, according to plat thereof recorded in Plat Book l, Pages 56 to 6~ of the Public Records of Seminole County, ¥1orlda, ( said point bei~ on t~e Southerly edge of a concrete retaining ~.all along %he south sl~ore of Lake ~.~onroe) thence run North 543.3 feet to a point in L~.~ke ~',lonroe, %hence East 205.0 feet, thence South 620.8 feet to a point on the Southerly edge of said concrete retaining wall, thence North 69 degrees l? minutes West 219.2 feet to beginning. Reporting the result of my examination I find that the fee simple title to the above described property is vested in St. Johns River Line Company, subject to the following objections: 1. The rights and interests of any parties in actual possession thereof if other than St. Johns River ~ine Compamy. 2. Any unrecorded liens for ,.,ork and labor done or materials furnished. 3. Any rights of way acquired thereon or thereover by prescription or user. 4. Any discrepancies that an actual survey of the property might disclose.

The mortgage referred bo was dated June l, 1933. As pointed out in the preceding paragraph, Agwilines Inc. appears to have succeeded at the interest of Clyde ~allory Lines. The east 14 feet of the property hereinbefore described is composed of an exbensi~ of an alley running through the center of Block i , Tier l, of E.R. Trafford's ~ap of Sanford.

Attention is called to deed shown in entry ~lOO from Clyde Steamship Company to City of 5anford in which the Clyde Steamship Company conveys to the City 214.9 feet of land along the retaining wall "less a strip of land 2 feet wide along the north side of the above described property". I believe, however, that it was the intention of the Grantor to except the concrete retraining w~ll rather th~.n land. I wish to say in regard to the title that the property in question consists of the concrete rete. ining wall along the shore of L~ke ?.?nroe on the ~.outh e~d of s~id property and the remainder of the property consists of the waters of Lake :.~onroe and in view of the uncertainty of the law' in regard to Riparian rights, I cannot ~e~v any title to the lake would be acauired by a deed from St. Johns River Line Company. Taxes for the year 19~8 ,when a~seesed, will constitute a lien against the property. Respectfully submitted, Fred R.l?llson ?RW/mc Consideration was next given to the unpaid drug, medical and hospital bills rendered to the City as incurred by Joseph Garv~n, colored, who was shot by patrolman, C B Sparks. Thereupon Commissioner Carrawe~ moved that the Acting Zayor appoint one Com- missioner to meet with the County Commission relative to settlin~ the aforesaid Oille, and to be empowered to act on behalf of the City. Seconded by Commissioner Krider and carried. Thereupon Acting Nayor Lecher appointed Commissioner Chase to meet with the County Commission relative to settling the bills incurred by Joseph Garvin. Commissioner Carrawsy next submitted a reeue~t from the Victor Check Estate, for the City to purchase the property located at French Avenue and Seminole Boulevard and occupied by ~otors Inn, at an approximate cost of ~9,000.00.
