Avenue Southeast north of Fourth Street Southeast and in the
vicinity thereof, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfactory
solution to the problem of widening that part of Third Avenue,
hereby respectfully request that your honorable body consider
the following;

interposed by any interested property holder to a street paved
to a width of fifty feet at the present time.
2. That no objection would be interposed to the
acugisition by the city under proper -procedure of an additional
five foot. cutback on each, aide of said street.
3. That no curb or gutter be installed until more than at
least fifty percent of the property affected is being actually
used for commercial purposes.
4. The above would allow the use ofa fifty foot paved
street with an additional five feet on each side without the
necessity of curb or gutter or changing the sidewalks at the
present time or until the situation of the property affected
would warrant such a change.
5. In the event that said proposition is accepted, the
owners of the property affected would expect to pay their assess—
ment for eleven foot pavement as already au ggested and to pay
for the curb if and when the same was installed and.would expect
compensation for the five feet taken on each side of the street.
6. Your petitioners further respectfully request that no
resolution be pas -sod contrary to the above without an opportunity

proposition.
