2.                     To keep and maintain asphalt pavement under the Wisconsin Avenue Viaduct in the bay located between pier 7 and pier 6. Said pavement shall be used for ingress and egress from the property.

 

3.                     To keep and maintain a 14-inch diameter pipe casing containing steam pipe for heating and power. The casing crosses the 59-foot wide right-of-way of North 39th Street at a point approximately 232 feet east of the intersection of the center line of North 39th Street and the centerline of North 41st Street extended from the north. Said piping supplies heat and power from the power plant located on the north side of North 39th Street to the buildings south of North 39th Street.
