dan Park streets so that the streets may more closely conform to existing im-
provement on them.

making this recommendation is that a number of pur~hasers of the property in

tire area, thereby Following a comprehensive city-wide sewer plan. Recommended

lic Housing Administration now desires to plat the real property adjoining

upon the lots to be platted in said area an unreasonable distance, and

the vacation ordinance in such a way as to reserve easements for any existing
water and sewer lines that will be on private property when the vacation is
completed.
In connection with the original Plat of Sheridan Park wherein private
owners are occupying a portion of the streets by city permission, the City

ations oi' streets there.

vestigation and surveys, etc.

go ahead and prepare all necessary details and then present it to the City
Council.
