By Mr.. Conger-.
Shreveport, La, June II, Ioo3.-Io
the Mayer and City Council: We your
undersigned property owners and tax
payers respectfully petition your hon
orable body to have grade changed ON
Irving place, commencing at the alley on
west side of Irving place between Jor
dan and Herndon avenue. We wish
grade reduced about eight inches ON Our
1.-THE west) side of Irving place to COM
pare with grade given us by former City
Engineer F. w. Kane. 1t seems that
there is some difference between his
grade and the one given now by Mr..
Woodland, and as some of JUS have gone
to heavy expense in grading our lots to
compare with grade and laying Our
walks and curbing, we feel that this
slight change would not affect the looks
of the street and at the Same time be of
great benefit to us, and for these reasons
we ask your favorable consideration.
