alleys to whom was referred the petition of j.
M. Davidson and others asking TO have Adah
avenue to be widened from Woodawn avenue,
westerly for distance OF one half block so as to
correspond with the rest OF the street, beg

original plat which is on file in Comma, shows
that the street Is only rs feet wide its entire
length. Therefore we would recommend to the

this street OF uniform width, that the city build
q sidewalk as petitioned for at the expense of
the property owners the same as in other parts

Aid Nichols presented following report which
was upon motion adopted
To the Honorable Mayor and Common Council
OF the City OF Owosso.
Gentlemen:--Y committee on streets and
alleys to whom was referred the petition OF j.
bridge be replaced on Franklin avenue in the
north end of the alley running through Block
Maple Ridge Addition. beg leave to report
that we have investigated tue same and find
this bridge Is located In a low. springy place,
there never was a bridge there and no APP
proaches ever built. There Is no traffic over
this alley only from two or three people. To
build this bridge and grade the approaches at
this time would be much greater than In the
winter whenit Is frozen, as 10 would be almost
impossible to get a team on there Ut the pres
ent time.
