the name of " Glamis Road, for the new road.
A negotiation is still pending for the purchase of the lessee's interest

widened and improved.

William Cotton, Esq., which provides for the making of the roads and
the laying down of curb, channel, and footway paving in the new streets
on the Cotton Estate in this district, at Mr. Cotton's expense. and for the
lighting of the same by the Board, upon certain conditions before the
