Houses together.

When the house and the board met in
Joint session there was some evidence of
disorder incident 10 the general closing up
OF business. Delegate James absent-mini-
eddy responded aye" when the roll was
called, and Clerk Coryell made an unin-
territorial hit by reading the miputes Of
the previous Joint procession Without
a moments delay the assessment roll for
local Improvement district No. rs. Jack

Sawtelle. who OWNS a lot fronting on
Sixth avenue south. stated that he had
spent $3.50 for improving the street in
front Of his house. and thought this eX
penditure ought to be recognized in the
assessment. city Engineer Thomson ex-
planned that the contract for which the
assessment was made had reference solely
to the replanking of the streets. and that
IL would have cost Mr. Sawtelle as much
10 pay for the new planking himself as to
meet his assessment. The roll was then
approved. assessing s. $3.50 to the prop
erty owners OF the district and 500 to the
city. President Daulton casting the only
negative vote. An ordinance was subse-
quenily passed in each house approving
the assessment roll.
