our expense down Pennsylvania av-
enue from the northern boundary
of section "a to the northern bound
airy of section Is, one mile, being
opposite the Caddo Window
Glass plant. We will also, at our ex-

said road from the city Limits to the

This road is much needed to serve

people living adjoining the addition,
in fact it will be physical impossi-
