Of the year. Under the laws governing the former
city Of Brooklyn. all street openings. repavng and
other improvements IN the streets were paid for
chiefly by assessments upon property benefited,
but no contract for such work could be made until
one-third q the assessment had been collected by
the city. After consolidation work 9> such i'm
provements was stopped because there doubt
