We sincerely hope that we will not be requi- red to move fences , bushed and trees. I don't know any more than you do about how that fence got where it is. It was quite some years back. As to the responsibility for, the approximately 11 inches out on public right-of-way, I can't say where that responsibilityolies. We are just anxious to stop taking up your time and ours, and get the sidewalk in the most practical way; and, we feel that the practical thing is a four foot sidewalk; one foot of it extending onto public right-of-way. In 1953 we deeded an extra five feet on the north edge of the north side of the lot to the city for public right-of-way. So actually, what we are asking for is a foot of that five feet back." A motion was made by Commissioner Tarpley to bable this discussion and see if we can compromise with Mr. McAndrews. The motion died for want of a second. After much discussion, a motion was made by Commissioner Thornton that the Fronton be given a permit to install a four foot sidewalk, extending five feet onto the City right of-way, which would be a foot outside of the boundary line. -2- • S • And that one foot between the east edge of the sidewalk and the Fronton property line will, at all times, remain City; property.
