I own a house on the corner of South and Columbia (329 E. South and 543 Columbia). This building consists of 3 rental apartments, and is "catty" corner from Max's Grocery. I understand the owners of the grocery asked to be placed on your demolition list. I, too,lwould like to be on that list. I am dero initely a senior citizen, who is not driving. I have family only a niece living in Chicago. This is an old house and in constant need of repairs, for whi h I must hire union help. All the expenses have be ome so exorbitant that it has become a real burden and worry. I sometimes consider emptying it and boarding it up. My attorney, Mr. Hahn, says just to be patient - -that possibly something will happen, but considering my age and health, I feel patience is no virtue in this instance. I sincerely hope that you and HUD will consider my request) for this acquisition and demolition. LETTER FROM MRS. W. L. (DOROTHY) McALLISTER TO MR. F.
