Seyance are on file for record in the
county clerks office. There are two OF

fnents. appurtenances, &c. The reser-
vations regarding rents and the privi-
reyes concerning street building are

range of possibilities. In that event
many persons could live Mt Pig Point
ana do business across the river.
