The City Attorney reported as fol-
lows:
To the Mayor and Common Council, of
the City of Kenosha:
Gentlemen compliance with
your request [ have examined the ac-
ton taken by the Common Council in
reference to the paving of Grand
avenue as shown by the records,
And am of the opinion that such &C
ton does not make it absolutely nee
essary to raise Grand avenue bridge
before paving. We're this true the
paving of this street might be indef-
nitely postponed or prevented.
think there can be no question as
to the city's right, through it's Common
Council, in the absence of vested
rights in third parties, to rescind, at
any regular meeting, the action al
ready taken in reference to this street.
The better way, in my judgment, to
reach this end is by resolution, which
may be in the folio wing form:
Resolved: That the action taken
by the Common Council of the city of
Kenosha in reference to the paving of
Grand avenue and the raising of Grand
avenue bridge, at an adjourned regular
meeting thereof held on the 9th day
of June, A. D. 1898, be, and the same
is hereby in all things rescinded."
A resolution duly passed by the
Council authorizing the paving of
Grand avenue would, by implication,
in my opinion, reach the same end.
Dated Kenosha, July 18th, 1898.
PETER FISHER. City Attorney.
