the expense thereof shall be collected of the
owners of the tract of land on which the build
ing, portion of which is SO removed, then
stands and that the amount of said expense
shall constitute charge and lien upon said
tracts OF land respectively, and may be COL
lected and enforced by said city by the fore
closure of said lien and sale of said lands and

foreclosure of mortgages by action.
And your committee respectfully recommend
that said proposed agreement be modified BY
