In Wyur specifications, you have provided for openings for streets and alleys through my property; I da not desire these, as the twenty feet in width that, you condemned for Widening Oakland Street off of the whole of the west side of my land renders it two narrow now to plat into two tiers of lots,' and this compels me to make one tier ef' lots facing on Oakland Street of toe° mubh' depth 7to roilize the proper amount for them on s&,e of same. I am. therefore, compelled ; to -not plat the same, and to sell the, same in late by zet68 and b-ounds.,.Therefore, I shall not opex any Streets, *f L11eye through the same and do not want any openings loft for same and shall want -the sidewalk and curb to be continuous along the whole c of mq frontage an Oakland Street. This would mace the cost to be assessed against prsperty whom the same is done still more than the 50% of th¢ amount the prapert�y Is *asessed for taxation My interpretation is that the.law.requires a street to be paved at the time it is grad#d; I cannot fInd say repowl of this law and the Court has interpreted it in the case of Town of Jasper vs. Cassidy, 53 Appellate, pi age of the I therePore� give 'this notice of my intention .to contest the right City of South Bend by its Board of Pub11c Worksattempting to assess nay property for the pr opgsod impr oveement 9 on the ;grounds that the law pr oh ib its " a `Ba�dedunless letting in it is contract under theca c and it ions, and alsa that a street Gannet be gr paved.
