Metrics of Darr's plat

The following language appeared in Conrad Darr's original application to the court of Butler County, Ohio.

When Conrad Darr platted Darrtown, he used a unit of measurement known as a "pole" - which is 16.5 feet in length.

Therefore, each in-lot in Darrtown measures:

> 12 poles (198 ft.) in length - from east to west

> 6 poles (99 ft.) in width - from north to south
