he sidewalks of this street in.
The conditions are those a petition
yas circulated and signed by every
we on the street to have it tagged
nd cross-walked, and approved by
our honorable body April II, 1905.
Today there are about 375 feet of
'nflagged sidewalk, although there
S rs feet of fagstones laying in the
utter since last August or Septem-
yer with apparently no one to compel
,wners to have them placed on walk.
Also at corner of Oak and Fayette

idewalk and sixteen inches higher
han grade of street. The result of
his obstruction is a pool of water
'overing adjoining sidewalk.
We respectfully ask your honor
BILE body to have the street placed
n the condition the people intended
t should be, and oblige.
