pany. County Registers and this office,
and find as follows
Bishop street, from Grand street 10 a
point about 450 feet westerly, has been
regularly dedicated and open to the pub
lie since about the veal 1855.
That part of Bishop street, between sag
point (about 450 feet west of Grand
street, and Corneilson avenue has been
a dedicated street since September rs,
1884, but has never been opened TO puplie
use, the LAND within and adjoining aid
street being used for farming purposes.
The city. under resolution of your lion
orable Board. may accept said street as
the same is now shown on Fowler's map
of 81. and open it to public use. l would
advise. however, that a search be lnsti-
tuted for judgments or mortgages. IL the
property be found unencumbered, the res
olution should be so framed as to cover
the entire street between Grand street
and Corneilson avenue, as | have been
unable to find any acceptance by the city
of the already opened portion.
Yours respectfully,
CHAS. E. NUGENT.
