To the President and Common Councils
GENTLEMEN: I am of the opinion that the
City Engineer il correct in his statement to
the Common Council that Seventh street is
sixty feet in width, and that the brick build
ing at the southwest corner of Seventh and
jackson streets stands some seven feet in
Seventh street.
I would q wise that legal proceedings be in
stituted to remove the obstruction out of the
street, unless the owner of the property shall
make a satisfactory arrangement with the City
that on the destruction or removal of the pres
ent building he will conform to the true line
of the street, when another building is erected
on said nremises.
Very respectfully,
w. P. MURRAY,
City Attorney.

Attorney and Engineer to see if satisfactory

of said building in regard thereto.
