Resurveys of both Perry street anc
North Seminary street from the Brook
street intersection north were author
lied by the city council at its regular
monthly meeting last night. An en-
gineer's survey OF what the city claims
for its own property in both instances
is the first step looking toward amicahle
settlements of differences existing be-
tween the city and certain abutting
property owners over the whereabouts
of the street lines. Once they are def
nitely fixed, the council, under the pro-
visions of the resolutions, will have them
| legally recorded. The resurvey of North
Seminary street was ordered after the
street committees investigation bad
prompted a recommendation to refuse
Paul Kingdoms request for a building
permit at 44g North Main street near
Seminary street Thus it happens that
Mr.. Kingdoms building operations in that
vicinity are held up pending the com
mittee's attempt to get a satisfactory
location of street lines.
A different chain of circumstances led
up to the Perry street resolution Only
last week the council provided for
survey by f. H. Dewart OF Burlington,
with the idea that the engineer would
act as a neutral in a controversy be-
tween property owners and the city in
the matter of laying curbing for a side
walk. Alderman Keefe, the second mem
Der of the committee, took il upon him
self to see the persons concerned sep
arately with the result that each agreed
to an amicable settlement of the differ
ences without the expense of procuring
a qualified engineer from ont OF the city. |
The city. therefore, will proceed to make |
the survey with the instruments it has
at hand and the sidewalk win probably |
be laid this fall, or early next spring. !
Both resolutions passed without dis |
senting vote and before the session adj
iourned the clerk was instructed to mo-
tify the Burlington engineer that his
services viii not be necessary.
