Extension of Morrison Street to Join Washington Proposed Property-Owners Petition Council for Improvement "Which Will Involve Catting Off Corner of Exposition Building. I i 1 22 fV---" W7T ii mi y-z-Jf-rrrs-r rvA -rrrr- . 4 CTuirB T ""U I F'l 1 i ii i - "HH II I IT PERSPECTIVE DRAWIXOp SnOWHO rBOPOfED EXTONSIOJI OF MOfUUSOX STREET. rE, the undersigned, owners of the property described oppo site our signatures, nereoy respectfully petition your honorable Ibody to open, lay out and establish illorrlson street In its present course Kind width, from the west line of Chap man street to the south line of Wash ington street, and that the damages 'for the opening; of said street be as sessed to the property on Morrison istreet and the extension thereof from (the west line of Third street to the south line of Washington street. We believe Morrison street should be ! opened, and the cost thereof to the i property-owners benefitted thereby will be much less at the present time "than at any time In the future." 1 The foregoing Is the petition that (is being signed by the owners of Mor- Irlson-street property and is to be pre sented to the Council at an early date. Leo Frlede Is one of those who have I the proposal In hand and he said yes iterday that practically all property jowners along the street had signed the petition or had signified their Intention !to do so. The cutting through of the street will follow the property line of the Multnomah Club on the south between Chapman and Stout streets and on the north will take a strip off the struc ture known as the old Exposition build ing. From Stout street westward the opening will be cut through the nor therly tier of blocks of the Russell Ad dition, and take a triangular strip from the King estate holdings to the west. The proposal to open the street is strongly advocated by somo of the largest owners of realty on Morrison street thoBe who will be called upon to pay the heaviest proportion of the damage cost, but they are of the opin ion that 'increased valuations will more than compensate for the outlay. The owner of one piece of Morrison-street property, who is well known to have opposed all manner of public improve ments In the past, surprised the pro moters by voluntarily sending word that the petition would be signed if presented. This Instance Is given by the promoters as evidence that when the matter is intelligently understood by owners affected they are willing and even anxious to sign in favor of the improvement. y. U. C.
