Special Assessment.

The taxbook for the collection of the special assessment upon the real property in District No. 3, for the purpose of paving has been placed in my hands. All owners of real property lying in the district are required to pay their assessment to me within thirty days from this date. If such payment is not made, action will be commenced at the end of that time for the collection of said assessment and for legal penalties and costs.
 Given under my hand this 18th day of June, 1901
 HUGH WESTBROOK,
 Collector.
