Owosso, Mich, Dec. 9, 1907.
To the Honorable Mayor ard Common Council
OF the City Of Owosso:
We wish to call your attention to the condi-
tion OF Oliver street at the present time. The
street is practically impossible for he1vily
loaded wagon and we think 1t doubtful II as
rough thoroughfare could be found In the
county. Loaded beet wagons are obliged to go
around and come up Main street over the as,
phalt pavement. making an additional haul OF
over mile and the wear and tear on the as
phalt pavement would be very much more than
the cost of filling the pitch holes on Oliver
street so that this traffic can come In on Oliver
! street.
make the street passable. The Sugar Com
pany will give the necessary cinders to make
the street passable and as we expect a heavy
traffic for the next three weeks. we would urge
your body to take immediate action.
