Ald. POLLOCK presented the following petition, which was referred to the Aldermen of the Fifth ward:

To the Honorable Mayor and Common Council of the City of Beloit:
Gentlemen: -
The undersigned petition your Honorable Body to order the opening up of Fourth street - north from
the north line of North street to Maple avenue in "Twin Oaks Addition to Beloit," extended east across C.&N.W.R.R. to intersect with said Fourth street.
A condition exists necessitating the opening of this street to accommodate a number of the
undersigned petitioners who are owners of property in said "Twin Oaks Addition" and expect to build there the ensuing season. The railway management have prudently forbidden foot traffic on their tracks extending in this direction and the opening of Fourth street would constitute a short and direct highway to the city for both foot passengers and traffic.
    Dated: Beloit, Feb. 14, 1901.
      F. L. PRESTON, Mrs. J. H. ROOT,
      A. H. BERRIDGE, Mr. J. H. ROOT,
      Richard INGRIM, H. ROSENBLATT & Sons,
      And forty others.
