;:y dear Colonel'
I pms end in" you ::ere. i h
thy location the reservation in relationship to
Salt Lakc City. his ':+u`s are-oared by ou_• city
• en^ineer':_ of.,ice. I ::i:ouIJ -_ave seat you this sooner
but I n...ve ':den c alayed in cottin- the m5 . that I
wanted.
•
• I think the area asked for by the gol('
people is about 200 acres. I do not khoa=:, of course,
exactly what ;;c.rt of the reeerv_tion they want. I
think that should be left largely to you. Beggars
should not be too particular. Liy judgment is that the
" land f•s.rthest away from your present barracks and that
nearest to the residential section should be the area
chosen. This, of course, mould mean the southwest
- eeraer of the reservation, or perhan^ better still,
about five 40-acre strips along the south side.
If there is anytninc forth sr I can do it* this
matter, -please let mo and it :till be done. Lo
you zant the'City Co ai scion to tad.: any further action
other than that they _acre .ahead; taken; do you desire
any action on the art of the Coir..erc i:_o1 Club, or has
• enough been done by these or c rt lolls to insure the
matter receivins ,roper attention et the. hands of the
