The following is a copy of the Rpport. REPORT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE APOINTED TO OUTLINE A PROPOSED ENLARGEMENT OF THE CITY LIMITS OF THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS. Your,Committee considered the enlargement of the City Limits to be very important in view of the fact that a considerable part of the area proposed to be included in the ex- tension is already platted. Much of the platted area is already built upon and the rapid rate of growth we expect for the City will call for a platting ofadditional areas. In view of the above suggested extensions a more harmonious arrangement of streets and _avenues can be secured by including all the additions to the city as outlined below, Also a more uniform sharing of interest and burdens in building the city will prevail by enlagrin.a the city as proposed. Your committee recommends that the following tracts of land be taken into.the city by proper action by the City Council; 11) The NW41 Pof the SEI, Sectiom 8, Township 16 North, Range 30 West (2) The NEI& of the SE IT 8, " 16 (3) The SW4 of the SE -x1 If 80 It 16 " it it It (4) The SEI of the SEI " 8, " 16 (5) The S174 of the NWI " 92 " 16 (6) The SEI of the NVId " 9 " 16 (7) TheSW4 of the NEI " 9 " 16 " IT it it (8)The SEI of the NEI " 9 IT 16 IT " it If (9) The NWI of the SE -I& it 9 IT 16 " it It " (10) The SWI of the NW4 IT 10 if 16 " if it it (11) The SE4 of the NW4 " 10 " 16 if It IT If (12) The SVJ4 of the NWh " 10 " 16 It " ° If (13) The ITE4 of the SW4 it 10 It 16 it It " IT )14) The NW= of the SEh it 10 IT 16 " If if if 115) The West Half of the NEI of the SE4 of Section 10, Township 16 North, Range 30 West (16) TheSW4 of the SEIof Section 10, Township 16 North, Range 30 West (17) The SE, of the SEI " 10 It 16 " it IT It (18) The NEI of the NE -if " 15 IT 16 If " if It (19) The NWI of the NE4 " 15 it 16 " it if "except the following tract, Beginning at a point which is 290 feet East of the South-west corner of the NWI of the SEI of Section 15, Tovmship 16 North, Range 30 West, running North 330 feet; East �0 feet; South 330 feet; West f60 feet to the place of beginning.
