<br />' PETITION.
<br />To the Hon, Board Qf Public Works,
<br />South Bend, Indiana.
<br />Gentlemen
<br />As an owner of un-platted' land on the west side of South Michigan
<br />Street between Donmoyer Ave., snd Chippewa Ave. l hereby petition your Honorable
<br />Body to straighten, and establish the west line of Michigan Street between said
<br />Avenues,
<br />Also, �o locate and definitely establish the 14 foot alley.165 feet
<br />west of the west line of said South Mich. St. and all cross streets and alleys
<br />intersecting the same,
<br />The Indiana Bell Telephone Co. are preparingto build a pole line
<br />along the west line of South Mich. St., and the Ind. & ich. Electric Company to
<br />build a transmission line in the alley, whose east line is to be 165.feet west of t
<br />the west line of South Mich. St. Therefore, l wish to have said alley definitely
<br />located, so that I'may grant a proper easement to the Electric Company tocross my
<br />land, and that said pole lines will be prop,erly lobated with'reference to alleys
<br />side -walks, curb etc., '
<br />The present side -walk is crooked and is located too far out #alto the
<br />street for a distance of over 2000 feet. Also, the -John A. Walz First Addition
<br />adjacent to my land on -the north was accepted by a former Board of Works and a sever
<br />foot strip of land laid out as an alley by said John A. Walt, while at the same
<br />time I had a deed and abstract for a five foot strip of said alley, and also a suit
<br />filed in Superior Court No. 2 to quiet title. Furthermore, the machine shop and
<br />other concrete work of said John A. Walz, is built into the public street and the
<br />sidewalk has been'wir.sed eo "bow" outwardly a considerable distance, so that
<br />South rich. Street it not 100 feet wide for a long distance.
<br />In view of the costlyy improvements made and to be made along this
<br />throoughfa.ra, and the urgency of the pole lines to be correctly esthblised at an
<br />early date, I trust you. can take prompt action to straighten things out.,,,
<br />South Bend, Ind. Respectfully subnitted,
