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 FEB. 691923 BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS BY L. B. SLAUGHTER - President.
