,ss referred tho subjrc! Of removing Tho
.A..,nct;ons from Grccn street. have nu-
..c,;zed mo to sepos, tho following rs be-
- tho scsu!, Of their investigation:
We find By an examination Of the Ro-
-o,ds. that on the :3O,h Of 9th mo 1917,
samuel Charles decided TO John Cha rlcs
lie soo) tho South IVES. Or. Of Sec. ~,
Town. IL, Range ], West, (recordcd IN
nook A, p. 393.) and that, subsequently.
Joho Cha rlcs laid out, in tho SOUTHEAST
III fP
Lots: ADD, on tho l2!h Of Fob. 1871,
Joho Charles decided to Robert MORRISON
LIZ No. / Of said Lots, md we finl that,
ON tho 4.h mo. 18Th, 1888, Robert Morris
s,n laid out and recorded oish; Lpts on
either side Of Green street, with streets
aod alleys, an exact copy OF which mp
marked Al i. herewith accompan'cd;-
from which plat it appears that no laid
out Groom street sixty-sIx foot wide. rs far
North rs tho NOrtI, side Of said Lots,
,shich would bc about twelve rods, which,
IN tho o, inion Of your committee, gives to
tho City good tito to the s.root at least
that far. We also find, by examining tho
rocords, that tho decd from William This
sesbwni,o to Oliver K,"sey, is dated July
I'd, 1898. for n portion of South. West Or.
OF Sec. 81, Town. u, Range ! West. &c.
being ono hundred and thirty Acres. moro
OF loss; which t,mo sccms to dato twelve
ysass afterwards.
Tho ground upon which Oliver kinsey
rests his claim your committee understand
70 DO this: That Sec. :s2 is not exnc,Iy
squa ro-,ha, tho East and West line. on
Tho South side Of said Sec. is too short,
and that tho ono on tho North side is too
long, and that to divide it equally tho line
on tho South sido would DO less than one
half milo long; therefore. to make his
quarter fall his line would extend ono. half
Of tho distance, TINT snid limo is short,
East Of Grcon ST. which is fOrty-fve fcct;
BOW your committee AFRO Of opinion that
si.o n,Uie Of modern surveying -, after
sho Tow n.hip is laid off, to begin ut tho s.
4. corner and finish on the West and North
throwing all tho fractions there. Such
being the cnsc, VIC think would fix tho half
section line nbo u, Green ST., which is half
. mile from tho South East corner Of the
section. Oliver kinscy. admits Green st.
10 DO twenty .ono feot wide, and the pnr,
Of tho street he contends for IS on tho East
edo Of tho :wcnty-ono feet; now your
committee think that tho tito Of tho City
is Just as good to that part Of tho street
claimed by Oliver kinscy, as it is to tho
part TINT no admits belongs to the city:
and, in view Of all tho facts, your COM
mit,co recommend tho adoption Of the
following resolution, and ask to DO dis
charged:
Ecsolred, That tho Marsha be, md he
10 horcby. instructed to remove all OBJ
s,ruct'ons ,hat may be found in Green st.
Or tina, may hcrcn ftcr DO found therein.
