of Lincoln Street with the elimination of the sidewalk
from the construction plans.

two feet north of the section line.

w~th the existing center line with the now curbs

Further, it is a State requirement that Lincoln

stating that the Village will proceed with the orig-
inal plan out under contract, no sidewalk being put
on the South side of Lincoln, and have it be back to
36' rather than 38' width, but if the State requires
that' ~he~Village cannot deviate from the 36' but must
stay with the 38' it will be as in the original pro-
posal out under contract presently.
