signed would respectfully ask of the Common
Council if said map is to be considered as
legally defining the boundaries of streets,
blocks and alleys.
l find some errors in KittsOns Addition on
this map, how far any errors may exist in the
other additions, and st. Paul Proper, l have
no means Of ascertaining without an instru-

1t is very necessary that something should
be done Immediately to have the boundaries
of streets, &C., defnately fixed; and l would

great difficulty in performing satisfactorily my duties.
would recommend that upon each street within
the city, monuments of an imperishable nature be
placed, that the line OF streets may be preserved. 1t
is not deemed necessary at present to place these
monuments at the of each block. Eight would
probably be sufficient upon the long straight streets
passing over uneven Or broken ground. Upon other
such streets as St. Anthony and Eagle, where there
are frequent changes IN the direction, monuments

These monuments would cost about two hundred dol
