The reason for the difference In assessments
on sewer roll In West Leonard street. as com
planned OF by VIM. Tell and others. is that the

for a nominal sum on said sewer had already
paid full frontage on the main or trunk
sewer I'm Alpins avenue. and had alt. or nearly
90. all the teaenf that could be derived from
any sewer. and tn amount paid by said lots
was fully d per cent. greater than any others
the tax vas not placed upon the property on
Whist had already been paid. but as 10 the ben
ents deri ved the lots on Alpine avenue had
all the sewer service needed. while property
west Of Alpine avenue could receive nothing
but sanitary beueAt until the sewer was con
structed west 10 Tamarac street
