The Library Board of the City of Rochester, in its
judgment, did not consider the proposition of the Mayo Properties

submit to the Mayo Properties Association the following Proposal:

tion until such time as its conditioned expenditure arrives.

of the City of Rochester enjoy the full tennancy of its present site until
such time as a new building is fully developed and furnished for its

tion of the Mayo Properties Association, we feel that the site in question
