will become liable for $40 if the assess.
ment stands IN the courts.
The total of the costs OF the suits and at
torneys fees in the cases will be over $4,000
which is more than the aggregate of the
amounts for which the bridge company is
to sue.
Many of the defendants in the suits are
residents of Berkeley, and it is expected
that some will yet pay the assessments
against them, especially those who owe
only So or So. The largest assessment that
Is delinquent amounts to nearly $500, and
it is thought possible that some OF the
larger debtors OF the bridge company have
decided to fight the assessment.
Assessments were originally made by
the company that built the south line main
sewer against $500 property all of
whom have paid, excepting the $50 against
whom suits are now being preferred The
assessment was the largest ever made in
Berkeley, the total amount due for the
construction of the sewer being over $50, 900.

needs of the town for better schools, and
the West Berkeley delegation upheld the
cause of the wharf. They furnished much
data with reference to the traffic that is at
present carried on between Berkeley and
San Francisco, and brought out MANY
points with reference to their need for q

schoolhouse are necessity and that
100000 is not too much to spend for them.

Club was appointed to meet a committee
from the Progressive Club for the purpose
