Dear Pete:
Reply To: James A. Roemer
November 4, 1974
The Department of Law has reviewed, with the help of the City
Engineer's office, the legal descriptions of the six Council -
manic Districts as you had requested. Our conclusions are as
follows:
(1) First District: The legal description is in conformity
with the outlined map of the perimeter of the First District,
with this discrepancy:
(a) line 21 of legal description - after going to a
point in the south right -of -way line of Brick
Road, .(lines 19 -20) the description should take
into account the easterly movement along Brick
Road (along the present City lines). The des-
cription should read, starting the second word
of line 20: "thence in an easterly and southerly
direction along the present city limits..."
(''easterly" should precede "southerly" since the
first movement is easterly).
(2) Second District: The legal description is in conformity
with the outlined map of the perimeter of the Second District,
with this discrepancy:
(a) line 15 of legal description - the correct
description ought to read "east" along the center
line of Western Avenue..."
(3) Third District: The legal description is in conformity
with the outlined map of the perimeter of Third District.

(4) Fourth District: The legal description is in conformity
with the outlined map of the perimeter of the Fourth District.
(5) Fifth District: The legal description is in conformity
with the outlined map of the perimeter of the Fifth District,
with these discrepancies:
(a) lined of legal description - "East" should be
lower case.
(b) line Hof legal description - "Quarter" should be
lower a g�
(c) line J41- legal description - should be "Georgia
Drive extend "easti.
(d) line Hof lega-' escription - should be "thence
easter y, southerly and westerly..." since easterly
is the first movement.
(6) Sixth District: The legal description is in conformity with
the outlined map of the perimeter of the Sixth District.
If there is anything further our department can do with respect
to this matter, please contact us.
Sincerely,
