All that piece or parcel of land situate, lying and being in the Eighth Ward of the Borough of Brooklyn, being so much of the old Gowanus road as falls within the lines of the lot known and designated on the assessment map of said ward as Lot 3, in Block 70, which lot is more particularly described as follows:

Beginning at a point on the easterly side of Third avenue distant fifty (50) feet two (2) inches northerly from the intersection of the easterly side of Third avenue with the northerly side of Eighteenth street; running thence easterly and paralle! with Eighteenth street one hundred (100) feet; thence northerly and parallel with Third avenue twenty-five (25) feet; thence westerly and parallel with Eighteenth street one hundred (100) teet to the easterly side of Third avenue, and thence southerly along the easterly side of Third avenue twenty-five (25) feet to the point or place of beginning, be the said several dimensions more or less.

That the interest of The City of New York in and to the same be appraised at the sum of $1, the purchaser to pay the auctioneer's fee and seventy-five dollars ($75) for the expenses of examination, advertising, etc.

Respectfully,

HARRY P. NICHOLS, Assistant Engineer.
