Upon u recent survey of property

ed that the building proper encrOaches
OH Biddle Avenue approximately one
TO one and One-half feet.
There are alterations being made To
the interior of the building at present
and they will i'll no way affect the
fOund;ltiO of il or entend the en-
crOachment, but due to the fact that it
does extend into city property.
therefore request on behalf of the
owners. that your body grant Il license
for Il continuation OF the encrodch-
ment.
Respectfully submitted,
Cecilia Melody Mix and the Is
tate of John Il. Melody. deceased
