Petition of S. Sorensen, A. Christen-

the undersigned voters and tax payers
of st. Lucie county, Florida, would re-
spectfully ask your honorable body to
appoint committee to view, and if
possible to straighten, that part of the
road running from White City station
to the St. Lucie bridge, where it comes
over the ridge so that 1t shall follow
the section line west until it reaches
the road west of the savannah. the
present long bridge is unsafe and will
in the near future, need rebuilding at
considerable expense.
We believe the cut in the ridge will

the east side and there is plenty of
material at hand to make the west fill.

climb with a load; said road to be 80

appointed committee to view, mark
and survey said change of road and re-
