an exception, and.were ready to hear the contentions of the citizens

in a manner satisfactory to all concerned, and believed that this
could be done, when the matter was thoroughly understood. T’
asked for a statement from Mayor Hose, which was presented, stat-
ing that the commission was ready to accept the Division street
route, with the connecting streets graded ami covered with water
