by this ordinance of lS47 amended in 1865.
~hlch req ired the property owners to pay
one half OF the entire expense of paving
and curbing acithin 30 days after the compile
ton of the Banquettes. They might have
continued as had been done for "a years,
the building of banquettes under the terms
OF the Ordinance of l847, and which had
been for this number ct years acquieced in
by all the citizens of the town, but being
anxious to make the burden as little one
fous on the property owners as possible
the present Council on the q December
1881 amended that portion of the old ordi
nance which required the property owner to
pay one halt Within 80 days after the com
pietlon OF the Banquette and ordained that
they should have FIVE YEARS within which
TO pa, their quota of one half, which
amount was payable in installments of one
fifth Of the one half annually.
On the 5th. April 1882 two, of the hume
rous banquette tax payers, all others hav-
ing paid. resisted the payment of their quo
ia and resort was had to the Courts for it's
recovery. The decision OF the Court was
against the town, and hence is presented
the proposition what is the towns duty to
wards those who have voluntarily paid
their quota? This enquiry was submitted
to the consideration of your special commit
tee and they are unanimously Of opinion,
that, whilst there exists no legal obligation
on the part of the town to reimburse those
who have voluntarily paid, nonetheless it
would be against good conscience and com
mon honesty to retain tho money.
Those WHO have paid receive from their
banquettes no greater benefit than those
who have escaped payment; and we know
of no goud reason why the former should
not be placed on AN equal footing with the
latter.
Whilst your committee. as do doubtless
majority Of the pr ,perty owners of the town
regret that the right OF the town to assess
for ba2quettes should have been called in
questl n; and although they are not insen
sible to NOR fail to fully appreciate the fact
that this action not only cripples the fnan
cial arrangements of the town, but may for
years prevent any further improvements
therein, they are nevertheless impelled from
a sense Of duty, to recommend the reim-
burSep'ent of the amounts collected from
property owners for banquettes, aud your
committee append hereto the requisite reso.
luton to cover this recommendation.
Respectfully submitted,
j. NJ. HOWELL, =
Chairman.

The following resolutions presented by
the special committee on banquette tax was
