earnest confederation. 1t Il understood
that they will recommend the City
Council to order an immediate survey Of
the locality by the City Surveyor, and

that are opposed to the movement. Al
ter this survey it is proposed to condemn
all property for the use Of the street that
has not already been embraced in this

cordance with law.
When it Is assured that the street will
