There is one matter, II however, in
this connection to which we would
bsg to, call your special attention.
In the exchange of the lots aforesaid,
the Company accepted forty feet
front as ample for their then sup
posed wants for o building 22x5O feet.
BY the present arrangements, the
building is much enlarged, both in
width and depth, being 88x63 feet;
which would leave us no outside en-
trance to the yard for our apparatus;
a matter Of absolute necessity and
convenience. Then, again, we may
be cut off from light and dir, both on
the East and on the West. We de-,
sire to be placed in position beyond
any contingency, and it is matter
of vital Importance to the Company.
The undersigned, therefore, would
respectfully petition your honorable
body to grant the company say eight
feet on the East side of the lot, run
ming back parallel to the full depth
thereof, making say forty-eight feet
frontSand rear, whatever the depth
may be, and also to place theni in full
legal possession of the premises.
The contractor is now ready to
break ground, and we are awaiting
the action of your honorable body.
And your petitioners will ever pray,
