Council Had Powor.

Corporation Counsel William II, Ely
yesterday gave on. his opinion in re-
lafion to tho assessment OF abutting
property holders on Ashlnun street, be-
tween Henry and Gregory streets, for a
vitrified brick pavement.
The court of common council recently
past an order directing that the pave
ment be. laid in accordance with a rec
onmendation from the board Of public
works. The property holders affected
by the order objected to the assessment
on the ground that no hearing had been
given them on the matter, or other OPP
portunity afforded them to give their
acquiescence or express their objec-
tions,
The matter was referred to Mr.. Ely
for his opinion, and he states that the
court of common council has the power
to order the pavement laid without
notifying the property holders, especial
ly on the recommendation of the board
of public works.
