The following paragraph has been added
by the board to all contracts for sweep
ing, sprinkling and all manner of improve
ments:
81 hereby agree, and make this supple
mental to my contract, that when the
work Is completed and accepted by the
Board of Public Works that will at once
notify each person, firm or corporation who
may be liable for assessments on account
of this contract when such assessment is
due, the amount of the same, where pay
able, and also to what date the provisions
of the Barrett law may be applied and
how the law may be applied"
The object of adding the paragraph is to
prevent property owners from being put to
unnecessary expense because they do not
know when their assessments become due.
