Highway 81 from the G. Q & S. F. Railroad Spur north to the new U. S, Highway
81, as shown on the attached map.
Subject rigbt-of-way was not closed at the time U. S. Highway S1, was rerouted

The City Plan Commission has reviewed this request and recommends adoption of
an ordinance closing the public right-of-way as requested.
