! To the Honorable Mayor and Common COun.
Gil of the city of OwOsso;
Gentlemen-Th petition of the subscriber
| respectfully shows that petition for sidewalk
| on Railroad ave-, running east from Broadway
| In Lingle & McDannel's addition to Woodlawn
avenue in Geo. L Abrey's addition, was pre-
sented to the common council and by them
| ordered butt; also. that after one hundred
| thlrty-SiX feet of said walk, had been construc-
| ted by the street commissioner by order of said
| council; that the commtte on streets and side
walks ordered the commissioner to stop the
work. say ing that as the street being only twen-
ty-ive feet wide. that If the walk was cons rue
ted, the street would not be wide enough for
use.
therefore ask your honorable body to remit
the tax of the cost of said sidewalk, being the
amount of nineteen dollars and fifty cents, as is
shown by the assessment roll for the third ward
OF the city of OwOssO, claiming that 1t Is unjust
and should either have been built as petitioned
for. or else have been investigated and the facts
given to the council before it was commence ,
| and If 1t had been found as so represented,
would not have imposed tax on the property.
which Is now owned by me.
AS this walk Is now Of no use to the people who
petitoned for It and will not be finished. there
fore ask your honorable body to either finish the
wal or remit the tax on that already built, and
| therefore lifta burden from me, which cannot
help think is unjust. Very respectfully,
G. A. BEEBE.
