A 200 foot linear portion of Alley #889, all of which is more particularly described by lines, words and figures on the sketch which is attached to and made a part of this ordinance as though copied herein, is hereby abandoned. In addition, a portion of Alley #889 is hereby relocated to the property boundary between Parcels 99 and 100 on Map 92-15, from the existing Alley #889 to Louise Avenue, in accordance with the attached sketch.
