June 49 1929. Mr. Albert 0. Helseth,Chairman, Board of County Commissioners, Indian River County, Vero Beach, Florida. Dear Si rs - Acting for the owners of the Building known as 13Campbell's Arcade"', I am authorized to submit to your honorable body a proposition that you acquire this, property to fill the immediate needs of the County for suitable Court House aecomodatio such as this building will provide, and at the same time meet the present need of economy and conservation so much desired by the tax Payers. I have been able to obtain confirmation of, and now submit, the very attractive figure of $65,000.00 as the price for this substantial building. The Building is two story, 75' x 115' over all. The actual tenantable space on the ground floor is 59777 square feedp and on the second floor 6,158 square feet. On the basis of $1.25 per square foot per aurum, the ground floor will produce and income of X7,221.25 The second floor at $1.00 per foot wauid be worth $7,811.00. Assa;ming that the revenue value is as stated, t he annual saving to the County would be 015,032.25. In the short. period of five years the total saving on this basis would be $75,161.25 or $10,161.25 ml than the cost of the building. The building at the end of five years should be worth 3 at least what we are paying for it today, and it is reasonable to expect that it will be worth more. Therefore, iratead of a saving of 075,161.25, we would actually have a greater saving to the County. On this sar a basis, the saving over a period of ten years would be over $1509000.00; and, this building, being as it is, so well adapted to the needs of the County, should fill our requirements for some considerable time to come. - For your information the following comparie3n cffD floor space is made of ., )re 1 i 1
