Suit has been entered in district
court for condemnation of rights oi
way across property of C. F. Chap-

From Garden avenue and Mullan
road to the road thru upper Black-

widened to 40 feet, as will also that
part of the route on east Sherman

From 10th street on Sherman easi

From 16th to the city limits and beyond as designated, the paving will
be 40 feet wide.
When completed the highway and
street over the entire district will
have much greater capacity. Sherman

highway, and traffice is increasing
rapidly, so that it was deemed advis-
