Road and Prospect Hill Road.
Mr. Lord was in favor of a 24 foot layout of the street, but
did not feel that any sidewalks should be provided for. He also
felt that some of the trees ought not to be removed, and that it
might be possible to build the street without removing them.
Mr. Jacobs was in favor of a 24 foot layout without a didewalk,
but he felt that he would rather not have the street constructed if
the brees were to be left near the roadway.
Mr. Ames stated that he owned the hotse next to the Catus
house, and inasmuch as the condition of the road did not bother him
any, he objected to it being built for acceptance.

send the figures to the abuttors.
