Survey of the East line of the City of Austin,Texas. Report of Orin E Metcalfe, Civil Engineer. July 21st 1914. To the Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners of Austin,Texas , Gentlemen : I am submitting to you this report, together with a map of my work showing the relation of the east line of the City to streets,additions and other land markswhich will be useful to the City. The original east line of the City was a straight line from the West of corner of Government tractoutlot 62 Division "A", and N W corner of Outlot 16,Div "C". I ran this line very carefully taking every angle and every distance twice before establishing any points as correct. I have placed 18 concrete Monuments upon the line and a great many iron stakes. I have made a map which shows these monuments and stakes and have shown the distance from City line to known points, such as street corners,property corners and other land marks at frequent intervals. Wherever possible I have placed the concrete monuments so that they will be of value to the City Engineer in making the location od street center lines permanent in the future. I have also spent some time in explaining the records and helping the Assessor to correct renditions along this line of the City. I have made a correct set of field notes describing the east line of the City as established by this survey and I hereby submit this reporttogether with map and field notes and advise you that the greatest value of the work exists up upon the ground. --- Page break --- Respectfully submitted, July 23rd 1914, By Orin E Metcalfe, Civil Engineer & Surveyor.
