The members were advised that there was no law requiring the property owners to pay a portion of the expense and that the law of this nature only applied to sidewalks. Ii was then suggested to make an effort to get the property owners to sign a petition agreeing to pay part of the expense. It was also suggested that the work be postponed for a vear in order for a bill to Bo Introduced into the Legislature giving the city a right to assess part of the eost to the prop erty owners.

"We have engaged an engineer wh will have charge of that part of the work," he replied. "Is the city going ahead with the work?" the mayor was asked. "We can't tell just yet," said (he mayor, "there is no law by which the pniiicriy owners can be assessed part of the cost except for sidewalks," "There is a law, though," ventur ed the writer.
