When map of Townsite was prepared and filed for record the location of these bench marks and their descriptions were over looked and not marked on the townsite plate. Maps, of written description of bench marks, showing their location will prove of inestimable value to both the City officers and owners of town lots in Clarks Las Vegas townsite, now that most of the lots stakes are rotted out or disappeared. Also, I understand that before the street curbs were placed in position, that a grade map was prepared the grade map was not filed for record. I hereby request of your honorable body that you order your Clerk to request said townsite Company to transmit to the City a copy of all data and bench marks, and street grades, and same to be made up in proper legal form for entering in the records of County of Clark, and City of Las Vegas, . J.T. Mc Williams.
