Approved.
Assessors

lutlons and ordinances came before
the Council Tuesday night. Solicitor
Esgate gave decision in this matter,
covering II much discussed question.
He held that when a resolution to inn
prove called for either brick or block
asphalt, the ordinance must call for
ihe same and could not more definltely
specify the material to be used.
This decision is seriously questioned,
by the way.
The solicitor also held that where
parks or other public property was
benefited by an Improvement the city
should pay for its part. This has not
always been done.
In this connection II was pointed odt
by Councilmcn that the City will have
to pay practically all the expense of
paving Forge st. from Mill TO College
ST.
