Each of said homes were built to face onto the Grand Trunk tracks, one of which you will note from the drawing, is only 12 feet from the edge of the Grand Trunk right -of -way, which would preclude the opening or extension of Hancock (since it is a 24 foot street) without the purchase of land from the railroad."
