suggestions to c'ear'u the way. His
letter is as follows:

MY suggestion would be that you
examine each one OF these blocks
from four to six places to see how the
base is and let the objectors see
whether they are right or wrong. If
thcy are right the board should have
the street rcsurfaccd over its present

should go ahead with the proceedings
as you are doing.
