The foregoing represents only what has
been done or what is rapidly being COM
pleted, and does not include any recon-
struction which has been advertised TO be
let and has not yet reached the stage
where the contractor can proceed, nor
does it include the improvement of any
street or avenue which is to be paid for
either in whole or in part by the property
benefited Many streets are undergoing
the process of improvement, the cost OF
which is to be borne by the adjacent prop
erty, but the foregoing list represents q
work done for which not dollar of tax
has been levied. The following is a list
of unpaved streets, many of which have
been restored to beautiful driveways, and
all of them put in presentable condition.
