HEALY <br /> JERRY FINNEY TELEPHONE 428-6629 <br /> September 24, 1980 <br /> Mr. Leslie Allen, City Manager <br /> City of Decatur <br /> 707 E. Wood Street <br /> Decatur, IL 62523 <br /> Dear Mr. Allen: <br /> As I am sure you are aware, Decatur Housing Authority is in the process <br /> of acquiring 43 scattered sites throughout the City for one of its projects. <br /> Pursuant to this process, we had contracted with a Mr. Edmund P. McConnell <br /> for him to sell us his property located at 459 E. King Street, Decatur, Illinois <br /> and described as follows: <br /> Lot Eight (8), Block Two (2) in Durfee Warren & Co. 's <br /> 2nd Addition to the City of Decatur, Illinois as per <br /> Plat recorded in Book 50 Page 371 of the Records in <br /> the Recorder's Office of Macon County, Illinois . <br /> Our purchase price was to be $1,800.00. In checking on this property, <br /> I discovered that when Mr. McConnell received title on March 10, 1972, <br /> there had been two liens to the City of Decatur. In june of 1975, the City <br /> filed a petition to demolish the house. The City then filed a petition in <br /> June, 1978 (78-CH-41) and received a judgment against Mr. McConnell. On <br /> january 21, 1980 there were Sheriff's deeds transferring title to this property <br /> to the City of Decatur. <br /> We are still interested in purchasing this property from the City for <br /> $1,800.00, a s established by H.U.D. appraisers. I would greatly appreciate <br /> hearing from you and receiving information as to the proper authorities to con- <br /> tact with regard to this possible sale. <br /> Thank you very much for your attention in this matter. <br /> Very tn�ly yours, <br /> CORD, HEALY & FINNEY <br /> L�r'�-�.,>..,-- /`�U..-v-�---�.�. <br /> JWR:dm .
