Away with Toll Roads Open and widen Federal Street

Proposals include D F Henry’s offer to sell Perrysville Plank Road from the first toll gate to Saw Mill Run forks for 14000 pounds, with the Butler Plank Road Company owning the segment to the city line. The plan aims to widen the street to 60 or 80 feet and complete the extension, with City Solicitor Elphinstone to provide an opinion at tonight's general committee meeting.
