Arrangements had been made by Howe, Inc. to get releases from previous owners to satisfy statutory language and an appropriate release was obtained from Sipe and Gray Oil Company covering the bulk of the tract to be conveyed. # It has become impossible, however, to obtain a release from Minneapolis Sewing Machine Inc., the previous owner of 1,240 square feet of the proposed plat. Mr. Wally Swanson of the Minnesota Department of Transportation has suggested that the former Minneapolis Sewing Machine, Inc. laid be conveyed to the Brooklyn Centex Housing and Redevelopment Authority who could, in turn, convey to Howe, Inc. free of anv restrictive language in the deed. This conveyance to Howe, Inc. would permit the final plat approval. t I have discussed these matters with Richard Schieffer who suggested that I mn�e this written proposal to you. We request approval in the advance of the proposed conveyances by the State of Minnesota to Brooklyn Center HRA and the Brooklyn Center HRA to Howe, Inc. Wally Swanson has promised to get me a legal description of the 1,240 square foot tract which lies entirely within the already submitted Plat of Howe, Inc., 2nd Addition.
