the Committee on Claims.
Mr.. Slentz said in regard to the correct
numbering of streets, the Committee
cannot do anything without an accurate
map, showing just how the city is laid
out. Mr.. Sherrick hoped the Council
would not have any delay in the matter
as there was movement looking to a
free mail delivery system in Canton,
which would surely not be granted if
our Congressman knew the city was not
properly numbered. The City Engineer
was ordered to prepare map for the
Committee at once.
Mr.. SlentZ said the railroad company
had torn up the plank crossing at
Chestnut street, leaving the same in a
bad condition. On motion, the City
Clerk WIS ordered to notify the railroad
company to repair the same at once and
place it in good shape for travel.
Residents living in ShOrb's addition
and desiring to build, petitiOned for
grade stakes. The City Surveyor was
instructed to comply with their request.
