beyond said limits, should be made to harmonize with pro-

alleys in such additions should be conterminous with ad-
joining streets and alleys.

which fail to conform to the uniform system of streets and
alleys established in this City constitute a menace to
public health, greatly interfere with the convenience of
the public and are dangerous to public safety. That such
plats which do not contain public improvements such as
streets, alleys, storm and sanitary sewers and drains that
harmonize with similar public improvements in the present
City of Fort forth, are a nuisance whether they exist with-
in the ].units of said City or at any point within a space
of five thousand feet beyond its boundary lines.

poration, partnership or association of persons to sell or

proved by the City Uouncil of the city of Fort Worth.

ley lines of thoroughfares in the platted district.
