This two story, concrete block building is located in the City of Kenai near the present city offices. There are two office or store spaces on the first floor and seven office spaces on the second floor with two rest rooms downstairs and two upstairs. By retaining the two tenants downstairs and continuing to rent three of the office spaces on the second floor the city could, for the time beine have the use oil one very large and three smaller offices and receive a rental income of %80.00 per month. As the land and building can be purchased for tax valuation of $5h. 338, the rental income would cover interest and allow for reduction of principal if no dovm payment were to be made by the city. As the valuation for tax purposes is not excessive, a commercial loan should be possible to cover a major portion of the purchase price. The present owners are willing to take a second mortgage if the City accepts this offer. Respectfully submitted, Wt. H. POE, ZTOR / By Fareuerite Bidwell, Salesman b {
