the company ans blocks 35 and 38 in plat C in id city and also lands south of WW third south street that its round house passenger station freight depot and other buildings connected with railroad busino new i P are an situated as shown in the a annexed n plat that it intends to move ft fM abenger station about twenty rods fedward tre vard and to a pol point lit marked tv AN P 1 I on the plat and change its abenger track and also wants gj a track or tracks west of ii ais a found and house that sixth west theet between blocks 87 37 and 88 38 and blocks 85 35 and 86 Js is not required for public use or accommodation and that blocks 86 36 and 87 37 and the go IMA east half of blocks 85 35 and 88 38 will never be used as residence property or for business other than such as can properly be located in a railroad yard that the public travel can be better and more safely accommodated by closing sixth west street between said blocks and opening a street north and south through blocks 35 and 38 off blocks and so that the west line of the street will be on the centre line of salt said blocks such a street would accommodate owners and residents on the west half of blocks 35 aud and 88 38 by giving an east frontage on the street aud and when seventh west street is opened there will also be a west frontage there there are now three dwellings on the west half of block 38 fronting east to a private alley and one dwelling on the west half of block 35 15 near the centre line of the block the petita er therefore prays that sixth west street between said blocs 35 36 37 and 38 be closed and the ground or the perpetual use thereof be granted to the petitioner in consideration thereof the petitioner will convey to the city of salt lake ground for a street off the west side of the east half of blocks 35 and 38 as marked off by the dotted line on the plat our petition also suggests that a width of eighty feet is sufficient for said new street and that a street of that width is graded and kept in repair cheaper than a wider one the following petition was presented by G goss chief engineer of the rio grande western railroad the rio grande western railroad company represents that it
