OBJECTS TO THE PLAT
Presented BY the Boyd and csvender
Properly Owners say II Would
Turn Street into an Alley.

Editor the Bulletin:
I zee by the Bulletin of the sixth
thar Mr.. Snyder and others OF the
council whose names are net men
toned. that they are in favor Of the
plat as submitted by Boyd and Cav
ender
The proosed plat does not conform
TO adjoining plats and would only add
TO the irregular ard, uneven candi-
ton of streets already existing IN
Cairo, besides al the boss II would
cause the adjoining property owners.
A few years ago two of my neigh.
bors and myself bought lots TO the
extent'ss seven ar eight. on what we
supposed was s1st and Elm street.
Would II be right or just to us to turn
this street into an alley?
There is a great deal of building
space in this part of town and We can
have pretty and regular streets ifthe
council does not permit property own.
ers TO haggle them up into alleys to
suit their own convenience.
We want alleys but we want them
in their proper places aud not at our
front doors.
