To The Honorable the Manor and C., unon Co,,,-
cH Of tile City Of 81. Paul:
Inc committee on Streets, to whom was
referred the petition of Michael Kuhn. re-
port that they have examined the premises
mentioned therein, and find, after careful
survey by the Deputy Surveyor, j. L. Hal
sted, Esq, that the adopted survey of that
part OF the city conformed with the original
survey OF the same. Also, that the fence
built IN front of Lots A and 5, in Block 66.
oelng the same premises set forth in the said
petition, is on the line of Fort street. But
your committee are of the opinion that when
That portion of Fort street, between St. An
thony and Rice streets, was staked out for
ditching and grading; that the stake set at.
the junction of Fort and Rice streets wasset
too far cast; thus making the ditch on the
east side of the street nearer the line of the
lots than the ditch on the west side; both,
however, being entirely within tie line OF
the street. Your committee would there
fore recommend that the Petitioner, Michael
Kuhn, have leave to withdraw his petition.
