At a meeting of the board of al j dermen a few days ago, it was de ! cided that if the Interest Is paid by ! property owners on all the install | ments of past due paving assess | ments on or before February 1st | the principal could go over. Unless the interest on all the installments is paid in full, the city council will be forced to sell the property. Notice was sent to property own ers early in December notifying those who had property on streets that were paved ten years ago that the ten year period had elapsed and that all installments must be paid, but a more recent ruling by the city attorney permits the city to grant an extension on the install ments if the interest is paid be fore February 1st.
