Twelfth on Main and from Main to
State north, after Mr.. Speers had mod
flied his original proposition somewhat
more particularly as to the width of the

The street extension was the only
Northup, because the code provides
that new additions, where street ex-
tensions are made, must conform to the
width of the streets extended. Ac-
cording to the modified proposition Mr..
Speers provides for State street TO be
regulation width, sixty-six feet, from
lot line to lot line, the same as the
present street is.
Another clause waived from the
original proposition was the haul of
dirt in doing the grading of state
street and the new north and south
street According to the new gree
nent there is 10 be no haulage off the
immediate ground.
Mr.. Speers also waived the main
,enance of the ornamental electroiers

5:re that the city would provide for
