GENTLEMEN.--I wish to call the attention of
your honorable body TO the uncertain condi-
| ton Of the alignment OF the streets throughout
the city and to the necessity of having durable
monuments set to mark out the true line of all
our streets; At the present time many OF the
| fences are in the streets and property owners
| on such streets hesitate about making improve
| ments before the uncertainty IN regard to the
true location OF the lines Is removed Your
certainty in regard TO property lines will as the
property increases In value cause much litiga-
commend to your honorable body the necessity
OF taking some action In this matter.
