Your commissioners recommend
that North Main Street and side
walk of the town of Woodstock, b e
laid out, opened, extended and es :
tablished graded in the said annexed
territory by the extension of
N orth Main Street, beginning on
North side of North Main Street at

p ike Co., corporation, E. c. Geary,
Mrs. Mary c. Sibert, J. Frank Hot
tel and wife, Herbert Trotter, ]. C..
Paxton, DR.. w. H. Wunder and j..
Homer Copp, to a point opposite
to what is known as the Mill Road
leading to the Shenandoah River
according to the grade and width of
said street extended as shown by
the blue print map as made by E.
J. Keerfoot, c. E., which survey
and plat are made part of this re-
port as though expressly written
herein, but were accepted and
adopted by order of the council Of
the town of Woodstock, Va, on the
1st day of September, 1916. We
have established the sidewalk on
the West side of the extended
street along said properties at
uniform width of six feet and grade
them by said blue print map.
We recommend that retaining
wall of sufficient height be built
along the property of Mrs. Mary Z.
Sibert at the expense of the town
in order to maintain the earth from
falling in at the points of excava-
ton made necessary by the grade
adopted. We find in our opinion
that the benefits to be derived by
the property owners by reason OF
the laying out of said street and
sidewalk will more than compen-
safe for the injury occasioned, ex-
cept as to Mrs. Mary c. Sibert, for
whom retaining wall as compen-
sation is recommended to be built
as aforesaid.
