Taht you petitioner was compelled to build and did build in said month of June a sewer from said premises to and connecting with James St Sewer a distance of 406 feet at a cost of $243.60 That it seems manifestly unjust that your petitioner should bear said expense and therefore prays that said said expense and therefore prays that said sum be paid to him by the City or so much thereof as may seem to your honorable body just & Proper And your Petitioner will ever pray etc. Alice W Engle A W Engle
