Aid. Wren presented the following petition
which was on motion received and filed:
To the Honorable Mayor and Common Council
OF the city OF Owosso, Michigan:
Gentlemen:
We, the undersigned owners OF the property
to be assessed for the construction OF four
foot sidewalk on the south side OF Fletcher
street running thence west TO Cedar street,
hereby protest against the construction OF this
sidewalk, and we request that your honorable
body reconsider the resolution ordering the
said walk, on the north side OF blocks 4 and )
| of II. N. and S. A. Williams Sub. Div. OF out
| lot OF A. + and Is. o. Williams Addition to
| the city OF Owosso, and that said walk may not
| be built as ordered for the following reasons:
lst-That said sidewalk Is not necessary
Improvement.
snd-That there are no houses TO be accom-.
| modated by the construction OF this walk, as
all the property in front OF which the walk is
! proposed TO be built is vacant property.
3rd-That there has never been petition for
such a walk.
4th-That there has never been. and is not
now any travel over the street or on the side OF
the street where this proposed walk is to be
constructed. That the sidewalks already con
structed In this vicinity already supply all the
needs o the public.
5th-lti is putting the city to an unnecessary
expense as 1t will require the construction OF a
crosswalk.
6th-we wish to call the attention of the
council also to the fact that already large
number OF walks have been built in front of va
cant property belonging TO the owners OF this
property on Fletcher street. and 1t would seem
as though these burdens might be made In In
stallments, instead OF putting them all on at
once, especially where the demand and neces.
sity is so uncalled for is In the case of this
Fletcher street walk.
We therefore most respectfully ask your
honorable body to reconsider the resolution on
this walk, and not to construct IL this year.
