The irregularity OF sidewalk
grades and street lines are exposed
at nearly every new survey made
for sidewalks. This is disgusting
to people who are expanding money
for. cement sidewalks and curbs to
find they do not line up with ada
msnt sidewalks and curbs or to
find that the grade is not true. The
blame has been laid to the practice
! of employing different surveyors for
nearly every section of sidewalk
/ built. lTThere may be something in
this but it does not appear to be
the real cause. Previous councils
nave wrestled with the problem but
nothing has been done to remedy
the evil.fI A carefully prepared plat
Of the village indicating the exact
location of all the old authentic cor
ner stones, and new ones that may
be found, necessary and the plat ap-
proved would be guide to sur
yeyors and others in laying out
streets land alleys and sidewalks,
etc, in the future. The grade heights
could be placed upon this plat so
that all points of information will
bbe together in one. The long strips
bof paper upon which the profiles of
| the several streets are indicated sep
4 arately are not suitable for held
work as they are being used at
! present These are suitable for rec
! ord files only. When drainage
I system is established it could be
shown on the plat proposed. There
! is no doubt that plat properly got
ten up would be the means OF saw
ling the taxpayers much annoyance
and expense.
