protested against closing the alley in

utes be corrected so that they would
show that the 5 per cent. assessment
had only been levied once instead of
twice, as the minutes read.
Aid. Jacobs moved to rescind the
action taken at the last meeting,
wherein they reduced S. Reynolds
sewer assessment to one-half of his
frontage, and require him to pay for
his full frontage. The. motion was

special assessments, a few special gas
connection assessments were levied on
some of the streets where they had
been ordered in by the council on ac
count of paving being laid.
The c.. g. n, w. r. r. Co. intimated
that they would lay thercross, walks
