Mr. Kilbourne intended that the western bank of the Milwaukee should mark the eastern boundary of the embryo city upon whose reedy sedges... Those who were foolish enough to pitch their tents upon the east side might gaze with longing eyes but should not pass to except in a boat.
Kilbourne from the first start never intended that any communication by bridges should exist between east and west side and acting upon that principle made his survey in such a manner as to prevent the streets upon the two sides from matching each other always insisting that the west side did not want and if he could prevent it should never have any communication with the east except by boats.
