City Attorney Villas. street Supernten-
dent Black ANA several members OF tho
board of aldermen visited the ends OF the
different streets on the lake front as far
south as Park avenue saturday. The old
maps of the city have been dug out and
a number of interesting discoveries made.
One Of these Is at the end Of Par; avenue,
where Oak Ledge, the property OF DR. w.
s Webb, lies and mo trespass' sign con-
fronts the traveller. According TO the
opinion Of most who have looked the
matter up the property whore the sign Is
belongs to the city and the sign will
probably be reversed. Proctor road Is an
other street which was unearthed. The
road runs along the lake shore by the
!umiere property and would be one OF
the prettiest drives in the city. The road
fell into disuse several years ago and
was abandoned because OF the expense
of keeping 1t up as the water washed out
part Of IT each spring.
