Stubbs, attorney, asking to be allowed
one-half of bill for paving on Louis
vile road, as they will convey a street
to the city through lot No. II, and the
west half of lot No. u. Springfield
plantation beg leave to report:
First. That in the paving of Louis
vile road the estate of Charles Jones
paid $50 on account of this assessment
and execution issued against him Tor
S266.O4. 1t further appears that rs
feet of the frontage on said Louisville
road, charged against the estate of
Jones, being a part of lot No. IL, was
enormously charged, because said
property had been sold off several
years before the street was paved to
other parties, and that with this rs
feet deducted the number of feet
frontage to be charged to the estate
of Jones would have been 1901, which
at the price charged per front foot for
said paving, would have amounted to
total of $214.3 deducting the $50 paid
there would remain as the original
principal due $16437, and with 81 for
cost of execution, $165 81
Second. AS the petitioners are offer
ing to convey the city Dooley avenue
as marked on their map, 40 feet wide,
opening into the Louisville road,
through a portion of said frontage, and
intending to improve the 43 lots laid
out on their subdivision as presented to
the Joint Committee, it is considered
fair and equitable that said petitioners
should pay into the city $165 81 and
convey the land for said street, the
city then cancelling said execution and
opening up grading and curbing, the
said Dooley avenue and running a wa
ter main through said property
The committee. therefore, recon-
mend that the above things be don.
