and one by the before mentioned grantees:
In case OF disagreement, d third arbitrator
to be named by the two contracting par
ties, and the decision of the majority to be
final.
Should hereafter a consolidation Of roads
take place, so as to have limited number
Of trunk roads entering the city. it is I'M
derstOOd that this right of way is now
granted on the condition that this road is
to come in under that regulation without
