Legislature providing for uniform system Of repave-
of streets &C. in this city, The act declares that

such paid Of the annual tax levy This has been al
ready made up for this year. and as the act makes no
provision for paying the assessments &c. for repave
mcnts during the present year by the issng OF
mcnt bonds II is believed that there will be some trouble
experienced In action under the new law Commissioner
Porter sent communications to the Board of Alder
men, stating that the requirement. OF Nassaust.. West
