THIS STREET IS INDICATED ON A PLAT PROPERLY RECORDED, AND IT WOULD NOT BE NECESSARY THAT AN OFFER OF DEDICATION BY THE SEVERAL OWNERS BE MADE. THE STREET MAY BE ACCEPTED SIMPLY BY ACTION OF THE COUNCIL ON THE IMPLIED OFFER OF DEDICATION RESULTING FROM THE RECORDATION OF THE PLAT. THE NUMBER OF HOUSES ON THE STREET WOULD, IN OUR OPINION, JUSTIFY ACCEPTANCE OF DEDICATION OF THE STREET FROM GENTRY ROAD TO WELFORD STREET. WE BELIEVE, HOWEVER, THAT AS A CONDITION OF ACCEPTANCE OF THE STBEET THE OWNERS OF THE PROPERTY ON THE LOWER SIDE OF THE STREET SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO EXECUTE RELEASES OF CLAIM FOR SURFACE WATER GREENLEAF DAMAGE. AT THE PRESENT TIME THE SIDE DRAINS ARE INADEQUATE, AND LANE SURFACE WATER FROM A COMPARATIVELY LARGE AREA WILL, WE BELIEVE, ON OCCASIONS GIVE TROUBLE TO THE OWNERS ON THE LOWER SIDE OF THE STREET. EVEN IF THE RELEASE IS SECURED, WE FURTHER RECOMMEND THAT AN EFFORT BE MADE TO HAVE CURB AND GUTTER CONSTRUCTED ALONG THIS STREET. THE SITUATION WILL NOT BE SATISFACTORY FROM A PRACTICAL STANDPOINT, EVEN IF RELEASES ARE SECURED• Jas, E. B� OWEN.
