SATURDAY, May %.
Ed s. Waterbury and J. A. Finley
passed through the city yesterday.
W. a. Edmiston, county surveyor,
was surveying near the city yesterday.
He returned on the passenger train,
leaving his deputy to locate and estab-
lish the sidewalk on the north side of
Broadway. Rcmor has it that he found
rock that dropped off a Transfers
wagon in the southeast part of town and
took it for an established corner, from
which all other lines must be run. At
least he managed to locate the line
within four or five feet OF where it was
put by the original survey. varying the
same from the survey of D. T. McAuley
as well as two or three other surveyors
who have hitherto run the lines. We do
not wish to say too much, but after living
here for twenty-five years we are inclined
to believe that we could shut our eyes
and guess at the corners as near as they
are sometimes surveyed and save the
city the expense OF an engineer. Send
for Knight of Kansas City. Maybe the
lots have shrunk in the last few years.
