that suttioient influenc' may be brought to bear in tbIJ
matter to have an investigator appointed" am stationed
a t De~ay tor tb:l purpose of go ing in to the me. tter thor-
oughly. making experiments and laying tl:E groundwork for

agreed to canoel certain street liens and baok taxes on
Blocks 150 and 138 in exohange for right-of-1IaYs abutting
on said blocks and on"t;he Iilcean :eeCtch. . He reported tbat
this motion had been mal!e tiecauae ot the Oouno l1!s
impression that no right-of-ways existed or had been given
by the owners tar the oonstruction of streets; and tb:lre...
tore the liens were ullIOlleOtillle. but investigation had.
revealed that a twenty toot street along the North and "
Gouth lines ot tb:l property had been liedicated; also
Oanal StX'&et on the East. and that the City held quit-
oleim 4eed to twenty-five teet along the}'il!lst ,line otsaid
property far street P1J1'poseB; therefore he believed the
tormer aotion of tmCOt111O 11 should be rescinded. inas-
muoh as he felt the members had no authority to canoel
legally levied asse sEent s. It was therefore moved by
JI:r. Bin that the motion i]1 regard to this matter be re.-
sotnded and the deeds retul'neli to Mr. Gleason with an
