Dear Sir:

Rsnlying to your letter oi‘ths 17th instant rela—
tivs to tho case of Board oi‘ﬂdncation of Lctoher County and
Lstcnsr lounty V. L. & N. P. Go. and L. d E. Ev. 70., Lstonor
Circuit Court:

I havs conferred with Mr. ”. 3. Williams in regard
to this matter, and it is his opinion that the Gompany can
afford to pay ﬁSOO for each oi‘ths lots taken by the Lexing—
ton and Tastorn Railway dompany, or a total of $1,000; and,
in addition, allow the Board of Education to move off the
lots taken by tho railroad company the huilding or buildings
formerly used for school ourposss.

Will you Kindly instruct Mr. Harvie to see that can
be accomplished along the line suggested by Mr. Williams? The

3 difference between the railroad company and the Board of Edn-

E cation is not grsst,-bui it ssoms to me vs ha; better try the

3 case out rather than mane concessions in addition to those

1 outlined above. ‘*“““’““”' “‘ '“‘~
I Vith rssosct to that part of Mr. HarVis's letter

 ‘ v 9‘ if. 1"‘:! O
which refers to the authority mule:- i‘rhioh he has been
acting, While I iiid not. question ‘Mr. 1.711.111args on the
point, I rather suspect. that. the latixs-‘r orally author—
ized Mr, Harvie to dispose of the claim at not to ex—-
ceed $1,000.

Yours truly, . --

nary Zo./V?¥} now neniine in ietoher Circuit Court:
;ncloseﬁ wicase find docket renort and three conies
of the petition in the above—styled suit.
This suit charges ihst the I; lroed conning forcibly
and unlawfully entered upon the school house lots and con-
structoﬁ its reiiroad, but a: a matter of fact the railroad
entered unon these lote unﬂer =n agreement with the County
Board of Education, wherebr they were to reimbusse the County
for same later. I was authorized at one time to settle this
claim for ’.;1000.00, that is ..;5oo.0o for each of the lots and
to hermit the County board to move the buildines to new lots.
The best offer I have ever had from then is to furnish them
ﬁam /00033

with new lots and 9566?80 in cash with which to erect a build—
/‘

ing on each of them.

On Lovember 23 l916 I wrote you a letter and returned

Dear Sir:
Referring to my letter to you, of the 2nd in-
stant,relative to controversy with the Letcher County
Board of Education in the matter of school property
taken for the right of way of the Eastern Kentucky Di—
vision in Letoher County:
In the last paragraph of‘my letter reference
is made to a suit filed against the Company by the Board
of Education. I find now that this is an error. The
suit I had in mind at the time my letter was written was
the case of Breathitt County Board of Education v. L. &
E,and Lg & Nu, filed on or about September 20, 19169 at
Jackson.

Dear Sir:
I have before me your letter of September 25,
with a copy of letter from hr. Lewis B. Harvie, our Whites—
hurs attorney, relative to the clain of the Letcher County
Board of Education for alleged taking of school property,
on the Eastern Kentucky Division, for use as right of way.
Your letter was referred to Chief Engineer of
Construction Williams, and I now enclose you his letter to
Mr. Warfield, of‘Septenber 30, and his file No. 1508, which
contains correspondence relative to the conveyance of school
lots near the mouth of Port lreek, about two miles above
Whitesburg, and near the north end of the Neon yard.
\‘ I shall be under obligations if you will refer
these papers to Mr. Harvie, with instructions to undertake
to bring about a settlement of our controversy with the Board
of Education along the lines suggested by Kr. Williams, pro—
vided Mr. Jesse Morgan—awho, as Mr. Williams says, is familiar i
with the matter of the purchase of’property between the mouth
of Pert Creek and the mouth of Golly Creek——is oi‘the opinion
that the Company is now in a position to make a transfer to

 f
_. s . M. 22' 2
the School Board of a lot from the Edward Combs tract, in
area equal to the present lot.

k, Inasmuch as the Board of Education hag now filed
suit against the Railroad Company, prompt attention to the
matter of settlement of the controversy is requested.

Yours truly,
ﬂislstant District Attorﬁey.‘
