has been any error in the preliminary
work to these proposed improvements
II were best TO discover them and cor
rect them before the work has gone
30 far that some one will be the loser
by the error These street improve.
ments are proposed to be made under
q system which provides for issuing
bonds or other evidences of debt,
based upon the abutting property,
these bonds to be taken up by property
owners within period Of five years.
As the city must stand good for these
bonds or evidences of debt, and AZ
the banks are expected to receive
Them without too heavy discount, It
IL important that there should be no
uncertainty as to their legal status.

not be difficult Of demonstration and
II should certainly be corrected. IL
