Gentlemen:
The enclosed petitions signed by the abutting
property owners to a now existing fifty (50) foot alley
between Humboldt and Dashwood Streets, as shown by the
enclosed plat, are self explanatory.
It is the desire of these property owners to
' narrow this alley which will improve the general ap-
pearance of the neighborhood, as this fifty (50) foot
alley is of practically no convenience to anyone and has
never been improved or graded by the City (there being
only a wagon trail through it now) . It is also our
wish to "ho#-#op" Dashwood from South Adams to Washing-
ton and Humboldt from South Adams to DeLoach, and to
this end we are now working.
Trusting that you will give this proposal
your attention and approval at your earliest conven-
ience, I am
Respectfully yours,
