street until petitioned by majority of the
property owners on said street is herewith
returned, would respectfully report Their
are many localities in our city that public

and north to the city limits is almost en-
tirely without access. Westminster street
bridge on the north has no outlet. Burr
street partially graded has no outlet. Whital
street is the key to all that territory.
Payne avenue now ordered graded
hence the necessity that Whtal street should
be improved-when this shall have been ac-
complished, we can then grade Edgerton and
other street running north from Whital
Whital street from Westminster to Payne
avenue has about 1900 feet of this frontage,
Folsom has about 176, Stinson 1870, Becker
264, Fahey 1872, Rice ga, ingalls, 22O, unknown
LIS feet. Sloping releases can be secured
where any particular damage would arises
from grading. Respectfully,
VIM. A. VAN SLYKE.
