The herald., 1896-01-28

presented asking that the grade of
Moline avenue be changed from the
north line of the Southern California
railway right-of-way to the south line
Of Villa street Granted.
Mr.. Cady addressed the board regard
ing the matter of his lot on Summit
avenue being assessed for the widen
ing of Raymond avenCe. He quite
naturally considered that this was un-
just, for the reason that Summit avenue
was not included in the assessment
district and none of his neighbors we're
assessed for this work on an avenue
one block away from their property.
OF course a mistake had been made
in assessing his lot at all for this work,
growing out of the fact that at one
time the lot (now cut in two) extended
through from Raymond to Summit, of
which his present lot is the half that
fronts on Summit avenue. But the
council took an unusual course when
the mem bers proceeded to take up a
collection to pay the tax. The amount
was only 81, but it was the principle
that Mr.. Cady was contending for. He
seemed to take the matter in good part,
however, aud nothing further was said.
The members of the board state that
no discourtesy toward Mr. Cady was
intended, this being about the only way
they could fix il without going over the
whole work again and thus delaying
the improvement.
A petition from property owners WAS
received asking that in the opening of
Garfield avenue the assessment dis
trict be enlarged, on the ground that
the benefits of the opening extend con-
siderably beyond the limits of the dis
trict as at present bounded. There are
twenty-five signers to the petition. 1t
is TO be held two weeks from today.
j. B. Hughes asked for and was
granted twenty days extension of time
on his Pasadena avenue contract, he to
pay tia inspector.
