A Resolution authorizing the pav
ing with Sheet Asphalt Pavement of
certain streets between designated
points and providing for assessment
on the abutting property owners to
defray part of the cost of same, under
and by virtue of Chapter 56, Public
Laws of North Carolina, 1915.
Be it Resolved by the Board of
Town Commissioners of the Town of
Smithfield:
That Whereas Second Street, from
Market Street to Bridge or Smith
Street, and Smith or Bridge Street,
between Second Street and Neuse
River Bridge, are badly in need of
repairs and improvements, and the
welfare and convenience of the public
at large require that said streets
should be graded, improved, and pav
ed within the limits aforesaid, with
asphalt or other suitable pavement,
and the Board of Commissioners of
the Town of Smithfield hereby find
that the above improvement is neces
sary; and,
Whereas, further a majority of
the owners, who represent more than
a majority of the lineal feet of front
age abutting upon Second Street be
tween Market Street and Bridge or
Smith Street, and Bridge or Smith
Street, between Second r.nd Street
and Neuse River Bridge, have peti
tioned the Board of Commissioners of
the Town of Smithfield, to pave the
same with asphalt pavement, requir
ing in said petition that two-thirds of
the cost of said pavement be assesed
upon their lots abutting directly on
said streets, according to their re
spective frontages thereon, - by an
equal rate per foot of said frontage;
and
Whereas the said petition was duly
filed with the Clerk of the Town of
Smithfield, who investigated the suffi- 1
ciency thereof and certified the re- 1
suit of his investigation to the Board 1
of Commissioners of said Town to
the effect that a majority in number 1
of the owners, who represent more ;
than a majority of all the lineal feet 1
of frontage of the lands abutting upon
Second Street between Market Street 1
and Smith or Bridge Street, and
Smith or Bridge Street between Sec- :
ond Street and Neuse River Bridge,
have duly signed said petition and 1
that said petition complies with Chap- 1
ter 56 of Public Laws of 1915 in all ]
respects; and
Whereas the Board of Commission- ,
ers of the Town of Smithfield finds
that the petition is sufficient in all re- ;
spects, and that Chapter 56 of Public
Laws of 1915 has been complied with
in all respects, as to the filing and
certifying of this petition to the
Board of Commissioners; and
Whereas, the Board of Commission
ers of the Town of Smithfield is of
the opinion that all of the said streets
above mentioned between the points
designated and proposed to be paved,
should be paved with r.sphalt of the
kind and character required and speci
fied by an Engineer to be employed
by the Town to have charge of said
construction; and
Whereas, in order to secure unifor
mity of work done, the Board of
Commissioners is of the opinion that
the work should be let out to con
tract in whole, by order of this Board
under the assistance of Gilbert C.
White, the engineer employed by said
Town, and that this method would be
better and cheaper for the property
owners and for the Town; and
Wherers, said Board of Commis
sioners is of the opinion that the
pavement aforesaid is the best and
most suitable for said streets, and
that said improvements should be
made as aforesaid, to-wit, by contract
for the whole work, and that two
thirds of the cost of said pavement
should be assessed upon the lots
abutting directly on said streets,
within the limits above prescribed,
according to their respective front
ages thereon by an equal rate per
foot of said frontage:
NOW THEREFORE, Be it and it is
hereby resolved by the Board of Com
missioners of the Town of Smithfield,
N. C., in a regular meeting sitting
th:s 3rd day of July, 1917, That Sec
ond Street, between Market Street
and Bridge or Smith Street, and Smith
or Bridge Street, between Secont
Street and Neuse River Bridge, be
paved with asphalt pavement as afore
said, under and by virtue of Chapter
56 of the Public Laws of 1915, and
the procedure thereunder as hereinbe
fore set forth, and the General Laws
of the State existing. And it is further
resolved, That two-thirds of the cost
of said pavement on each of the said
streets aforesaid, within the limits
prescribed, be hereinafter assessed
upon the lots abutting directly upon
said streets according to their front
age therein, by an equal rate per
foot of said frontage, the assessment
against the said lots abutting on said
streets to be based upon the total
cost of paving that street within the
limits prescribed, upon which said
lots abut, exclusive of so much of the
cost as may be incurred at street in
tersections.
Be it and it is hereby further re
solved. That the proposition of the
cost of said improvement herein pro
vided for on the streets above desig
nated, to be assessed upon the abut
ting property, shall be divided into
ten equal annuaL installments, the
said installments bearing interest at
the rate of six per cent per annum,
from the date of the confirmation of
the assessment roll, and shall become
due and payable on the date on which
taxes art payable, the first install
ment to be due and payable on the
