Council then boarded an omnibus In
waiting and proceeded to Fourth and
Van Buren, to view nuisance existing
at that point. The nuisance consists OF
natural water course leading from q
distant spring, which comes down and
enipties on the lot, N. w. corner upon
which Messrs. Tadman, Lowrie and
Beatty propose erecting row Of DWELL

The above claim that 1t was not the
regular course for the water to fiow as 1t
had been detected by the city at the re-
quest of James Marray. After viewing

Front and Second) from Harrison to
Franklin.
Conrad street, 30 feet wide (between
Second and Third) from Harrison to
Frahklin.

amined 1t was found that the impression
was wrong, hence the petition to CoHn-
ell on Friday evening, asking that the
city accept the streets.
