It was ascertained that the flag walk was ordered completed on or before July 1st, 1884, and therefore that they had Eo authority to prevent property owners from laying brick or other walks before that time if they chose to do so.
 The Balls Island property in Mill river near Gainesville bridge came up on resolution presented by MT.

In three months could walk without cane and have been improving ever since. would not take $50, ,OO0 and be as I was year ago.
