Gentlemen: •
Pursuant to your notice to p roper tY Tbvitnerti that the : cil

Florida On the lgth of April, 191g rind hear objetioxisaa
the. preliminary roll, the said assessments being: tmprovoments
0004,
sidewalk along the east side of Brickell Averyo from
against the assessment made for the above imprevenient.,:O*1
19,:lfor the following reasons:
lst. Because the said. sidewalks are-1)061:1y and ine.de
little cement vte,s used in the construction th.ereof,, and -
walk is cracked and crumbling in a great many •rarOeIs
layer surface is already -broken loose from the rest of ,the-;
off of the sidewalk; thus leaving,. holes and depressicnis in 1f131c
2n.d. That although the walk was recently oonstruoted. ank;i
in that it is fp.11 of holes and. depressions left when the'rfa
and. was loosened from the sidewalk and has brrn reoi,ed. therefrom
In this connection it would be very desirable if ac,OOmMittigiO,,,,
over and examine this sidewalk and test it at plaoes where tt is'
crumbled by the uee of a. hammer or any other with 1
stability, or I shoulct be glad. if your city engineer perI3onE
not by obse2vation alone as to the cracks and crumblinga-An'Lt, bi
