Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1890-06-05

The committee on streets and side
walks reported to lay out street in the
4th ward as follows:
To the common council of the city of
Grand Rapids: Your committee, to
whom was referred the position of John
Mann and others for highway in the
4th ward of the city would respectfully
report
That we have examined the route
described in said petition and are of the
opinion that the part of the route
described in the course laid down il
the petition is not now much
needed as highway and Is IN part not
practicable.
The second course laid down was
examined fully and think it would be
wise with some modification and
conditions to have highway laid out
over it. The course of the highway
We would recommend is as follows:
Beginning three feet NE of the E.
corner of block %, Neeves 1st and I'd
addition to Grand Rapids thence S. 40
degrees and minutes E. 1855 # to the
foot of the hill E. of swamp, thence E.
to street lying on the west side of fair
ground and that same be laid out 66 #
wide.
We would require as conditions to be
performed by the owners of the land
over which the street is to pass, that
across the swamp portion of the course
and up to the foot of the hill that they
cut on each side of the street ditch,
feet wide on the bottom and of the
depth of q #. except when the hardpan
is not so deep. That these bitches be
cut eight feet from the outside line of
the street and the dirt be thrown
toward the middle of the street, and
that all the stumps between the ditch
be removed. Within one year after the
above conditions have been complied
with, we would recommend that the
above described street be laid out and
adopted by the city. Also that said
parties be requested to put in 10 inch
sewer at the foot Of the bank at the E.
side of the swamp the full width of the
street.
