or cause to be made, from time to time, surveys for the exact location of
the lines of a street or streets in any portion of such territory and to make
a plat of the area or district thus surveyed, showing the land which it
recommends be reserved for future acquisition for public streets. The
Commission, before adopting any such plat, shall hold a public hearing
thereon, notice of the time and place of which, with a general description
of the district or area covered by the plat, shall be given not less than 10
days previous to the time fixed therefor by one publication in a newspaper
of general circulation in the municipality if the district or area be within
the municipality. After such hearing the Commission may transmit the
plat, as originally made or modified as may be determined by the Com-

times within which the lands shown on the plat as street locations should
be acquired by the municipality. Thereupon by resolution, council may
approve and adopt or may reject such plat or may modify it with the ap-

mission's disapproval, council may, by a favorable vote of not less than
two-thirds of its entire membership, modify such plat and adopt the modi-
