1Petition of. Parker and others to have

To HIS Hon. TIE MAYOR AND ALDERMEN on rHE
Cnr o. DAvuroar;
The undersigned residents and Real Es-
tate owners on Main street in said city are
induced to address you in relation to the
interests Of said street. More especially on
account Of certain false statements in circu-
lation, misrepresenting our views and feel
ings; and tending to injure the interests Of
said street.
In order that more clear understanding
of the matter may be arrived at, and as an
answer to false reports in circulation, We
beg leave to submit the following statement
Of facts, embracing brief history of said
street.
When Mr.. lie Claires lst addition to the
city was laid of, Main Street was ex-
tended to the north line of the raserve-
From the river to 7th street, 80 feet, north
of 7th street 40 feet wide, and Is SO recorded
in the County Judges Office.
We purchased our lots on Main street
with the understanding that it extended
thus TO the North end of Mr.. LIE Claire's
Reserve. having full faith in the record of
the same. 1t is not true las some have
asserten,) that any part of it was ever
vacated. We claim that it has been lille
gally shut. greatly to the injury Of our
property, and materially retarding the
growth of this part Of the city.
We therefore ask your honorable body
to take all proper and legal steps to have
said street opened al as early a day as cir
cumstances will permit.
All of which is respectfIllv submitted

seems almost impossible to have the water

A NeW Of the Hscts.

There has been great deal of unneces-
sary discussion on the Main street question,
which is already decided, and beyond the
reach Of the City Council the Congregatio-
nal Church and even Of the State Legisla-
ture. In the original Record Of the Town
Plat Main st. was laid through the nrw Col
lege ground. forty feet wide. An attempt
was afterwards made TO vacate it, but pro-
perty holders who had acquired vested
right in that thoroughfare by their purchases
made in good faith, refused their consent,
and although considerable part Of the orr
ginal Town Plat north Of Seventh street
was vacated, Main street, within the then
town limits, remained intact, and so remains
to the present day. The College Trustees
have fenced in portion Of the city proper.
ty, over which citizens have q right Of way
which can only be relinquished by the una
nimoas consent Of the property holders on
each side Of Its entire length This state Of
facts makes discussion, elimination and re-
elimination unnecessary. "a few selfish
individuals" merely stand upon a right
which they had acquired long before the
College ground came into the possession Of
the Trustees. and the selishness appears to
US to be with those who by their action
have kept property on Main street in an un-
saleable condition for years.
