Translation

Recommendation of the lord De Sille, made of his own accord.

Nicasius de Sille finds that the completed street survey should be implemented, and that it be posted immediately; that everyone shall pull in their clapboards or fences according to the aforesaid street survey, and that according to the same the lords burgomasters shall be supplemented by two impartial commissioners in order to appraise the lots of interested parties or the loss thereof in general or in part. Whereupon an owner shall be free to keep his lot for another or convey it for such a price as it shall be evaluated. Ady ut supra.
