Sout Bend Indiana. February 3,1923.
The Honorable Board of Public Works,
City Hall,
So,&th Bend, Ind.
Dear Sirs :-
I may not be able to attend the hearing which'is to be held on Februay
7th , concerning the opening of an alley in Dunbar's.Sub-Division, resolution -
No. 70, and I therefore take this means of placing before you my protest against
this movement. The fact that the Opening of this alley may result in the assess-
ment against property owned by me and by Mr. M. O'Biren is not of great interest
.to me.
I object to the opening of this alley from the fact Chit I believe
that it, will result in very great damage to properties directly connected with the
proposed alley, and I believe that this damage would be greter than would be
the benefit which would result to the City in general. I earnestly hope that
this will not go' through.
Yours truly,
FILED W. D. O'Btten
