Whereas the majority of the own
erS OF the front feet of property front
ing on the said part of Race Street
have petitioned the Commissioners of
Cam bridge, that the said part of Race
Street be paved or macadamiZed to
width of thirty feet, or fifteen feet in
addition to the fifteen feet in width
that is to be constructed by the State
Roads Commission of Maryland, and
Whereas, the commissioners appre-
ciate that the use of the said Race
Street is such that it is imperative that
the said paved part of the said street
be at least thirty feet wide, and
Whereas. the Commissioners of Cam
bridge have already paid to the State
Road Commission about fifteen hun
drcd dollars as the part of the cost of
the fifteen feet to be built by the State
and
Whereas, it appears to the Commis-
sioners of Cambridge that the city of
Cambridge should pay one-half of the
cost of the construction of the addl-
tional fifteen feet in width of the SAID
street, less the sum of money already
paid by the city to the State for the
building of the fifteen feet in width to
be built by the State. and it being
found that the entire sum that the city
would have to pay to pave both WASH
ington and Race Streets to width or
thirty feet would be approximately ten
thousand dollars, which sum of money
is in excess of what the city can raise
at this time by any lawful means, ana
Whereas, the majority OF the prop
erty oKners on the said part of Race
Street have filed a petition as afore-
said with the Commissioners of cam
bridge and now, therefore, be It, ana IL
is hereby
