To the Honorable Mayor and Common

OwOsso, MICH. Dec ., 1882
To the Honorable Mayor and Common
Council of the City of OwOssO:
Your petitioners would ever pray that
their prayers may be granted for an eX-
tension of Howard street from Shiawassee
to interseet with Elm street, say 40 feet or
such width, as your honorable body may
find nee essary. The extension of this street
to the Estey factory property has become a
necessity, for the public travel and the
large number of wOrkmen who go east and
south east from the 6 day factory, as there
Is no legal passage TO go south or east for
pedestrian, freight or public travel, from
the Estey factory without crossing sep
arate railroad beds, and some FIVE or six
different tracks to reach the new freight
house of the M. G. X. r Co. or the ID e..
II. q M. or the T., A. A q n nj freight
houses And many times these tracks are
blocked with trains on one or more OF these
CROSSING which causes a great loss of time
as well as great risk and annoyance, and
the distance is greatly shortened by this pro-
pesed street and your petitioners would
ever pray, this is great necessity for pub
lie safety as well as facilitating business
interests of our prosperous CITY. and your
petitioners would pray that speedy action
be taken in this matter.
Signed: EsTEY MFG. Co. and 30 others.
Aid. j. Frieseke reported that he thought
it would be best to discontinue the work
upon the sewers as soon as they got it laid
to where they had commenced digging, a.
the ground was frozen so hard that 1t was
almost impossible to do 1t now, Upon mo-
ton the committee was authorized to use
their own discretion i'm regard to the matter.

luton, viz.
