To the Honorable Board OF Mayor ana
-Atdcrn,e,, Of the city:
We, the undersigned, Commissioners
appointed by the Board OF Mayor and
Aldermen, in conjunction with J. B,
STEELB, ESD, for the purpose of exam
lining the street proposed to be
opened forty feet wide through the land
end of street now opened near A. O.
street, beg leave to report, That we
have examined the premises, and find
the opening of said street to be of great
interest to those citizens living in the
vicinity, and will ultimately be of great
interest to Mr.. STEELE. The length
and breadth OF said street will consume
q considerable portion OF tho land
through which it has to run, and it be.
ing the property of Mr.. STEELE, when
opened, will leave his property exposed.
We therefore, in consideration of the
premises, assess him damage at two
hundred and twenty-five dollars, or to
build him such fences around the prop
erty as he now has around his enclosed
premises. Respectfully, e.. a.f
l.. ii. ESTES, Charm,
