It was subsequent to these cessions that the width of the streets was reduced. I therefore respectfully recommend that the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund adopt the attached resolution. Respectfully, ALEX. BROUGH, Deputy and Acting Comptroller. Whereas, Henry Roth in a petition addressed to the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, requests a release of the City's interest in four strips of land on Lafayette Street and Fosdick Avenue, Borough of Queens, and more particularly hereinafter described.
