City Council
City of Fairhope
Fair•hope, Alabama
Gentlemen:
I,le the unaersigned being property owners (Lots No.
2 and 3) in Gayfer Court Subdivision, do hereby protest
any asLes-went a3ainst this property for cost of paving
Gayfer Court. This protest is:aade for the following
reasons:
1. Said property neither abuts nor adjoins
the pavea street.
2. Said property has not been appreciated in
value by this paving, but has in fact
been depreciated..
3. If such assessLient is made for this paving,
Caere seems a possib'lity for a double
asoessment for the future paving of a
road which lies between said property
and the presently paved Tayfer Court.
4. Other le"al reasons which the undersi3ned
will be glad to enui,.erate in the event t�.at
a rearing is called in this �.atter.
Sincerely yours,_

City of Fairhope,

Gentlemen:

J. H. ARNOLD
Abstractor
Telephone WA 8-9841
In accordance with your request, I set out herein our proposal
regarding engineering work as made verbally to you at the council
meeting last night.
We will run the center -lines, boundary line survey, determine the
exact amount of rights-of_w�Rys owned, the amounts needed and owners
thereof, and furnish descriptions for right-of-way acquisition; run
profiles; plan grades, set clearing and grade stakes; determine drain-
age needed and design necessary drainage structures; supervise construc-
tion and advise your crews as to methods and procedures in carrying
out the work, and furnish you complete AS --BUILT plans, on the follow..
ing streets situated within the corporate limits of the City of
Fairhope, to -wit:
Nichols Street, from its intersection with School Street, to its
Intersection with Greeno Road;
Young Street, from its intersection with Nichols Street to the
South boundary of the Corporate limits of the City of Fairhope.
Our fee for these services to be $1500,00 (Fifteen hundred dollars).
We are in process of getting the work underway already, and will
have some drawings and instructions ready for your crews in a day or two.
A matter that we did not discuss is the matter of the payment of
our fee; the majority of our work will be performed before you can get
much of the construction done, or even started; we must therefore ask
for progress payments, and suggest the following as a basis for same.
$100,00 as a retainer;
f 75.00 per day for each day worked by full crew.
35.00 per day for each day requiring time of one or more of
our men, but less than the full crew.
Such payments to be made twice monthly, but not to exceed a
total of $600,00 in the month of January, nor $400 in the month of
February; the final payment of an amount sufficient to make the total
of all payments equal to $1500,00 to be paid on or about April 1st.
We agree to proceed with the work rapidly and diligently, and
you agree that your crews will proceed with the work in such manner as
to accomplish its completion by April 1st, and it is further understood
that you will rent or otherwise acquire the use of such construction
e uipment as may be necessary to carry out the work.
too
Yours very truly,
Fairhope Title & Survey Co.
