Summit avenue came up for consideration
Mr.. j. B. Beals had objection to the mode
of assessment, and commended particularly that
the assessment for the guttering should be pu
upon the property along the frontage of which
it was built. This had not been done.

to make further inquiry about the assessment

week.

assessments on Como avenue, holding tina
equity had been wholly disregarded in the as
easements as laid, and requested Nat som.
member of the board, Mr.. Koch for instance
visit the locality and judge of the matter.
Mr.. Koch thought he might get on to Com,
avenue, but doubted his ability to get bacl
again through the mud.
President Becker suggested that Mr.. Ramsey
| hire buggy and horse, and thought undoubt
ly that Mr.. Koch would accompany him, mud
or no mud.
Mr.. Ramsey scratched his head dubiously
| and dropped the discussion.

In the matter of opening a street thirty
eight feet wide from Sibley street to Broad

to be assessed for this improvement. HI

| alone be assessed for an improvement solely
desired by the union depot company. On mo
ton of Mr.. Becker the matter was referred t,
the city attorney for an opinion. Adjourned
