your proposition was accepted by us

You complain thst'the grade cstab-
lished on Thirteenth East by the city
engineer and approved by Commis-
sioncr Norris, will lnjuro said street
and lessen the value OF abuttlng prop
crly: Our answer TO this complaint
Is, that tho present grade was cstab-
lished In 1906 and WAS followed In curb
and gutter extension No. l. made In
1a06-I. AMI in curb and gutter e%tcn-
sion No. 6, made in 1909. The grade
from First South TO Second on Thir-
teenth East, was established aud
street railway tracks laid al the same
time. There has been no change
made by the present city engineer, or
by us under our authority or at all.
The grade is exactly as cSta abliShej
there is no record OF protests against
either the grade liked or the work
doue then, To change the grade now
would ncceSsitate the destruction of
curns and cutters put in by the city
and paid for by the taxpayers. and
10 drop the grade below that on which
improvements were then established
would obviously mar an otherwise
beautiful street.
Soon after the present commission
took the oath of office. petitions were
filed by residents Of Th!rteenth East
asking for the Improvement under
consideration OH the FIRST Of February.

sented 10 the commission, j favorable

for twenty days during which time
there was no protest from YOU. al
though objections were filed by own
crs of t34t.0S feet 10 the width of
the street between curbs. These were
not enough TO defeat the work. but we
were anxious TO please the residents
of the street. so the change was
made and new advertisement or
dered. THIS also ran twenty days with
ont objections from YOU, or any Of
YOU, and protests dwindled 10 1919

You say that the people. desiring

government, brought about by leglsla
tion providing for such change, the
result of which was our election as
commissioners. This is true and the
records Will verify your statement
You say that the voters did not ap-
portion the duties and responsibilities

is very true. as the law itself provides
for such distribution in Section "Ol.
paragraph . OF Chapter i25, Laws of
1911,
You say it is your understanding
tina, no commissioner can exercise ar
bitrarY authority in his department
and that responsibility for each de-
partmcnt rests upon all. In this you
have been correctly informed,
