the report of the examiners in favor OF the con-
struction of what is known as the Roland PARK
Boulevard, from Cold Spring lane. on Roland
avenue, to the city limits. The Commission
ers directed the examiners to amend their re-
port so as to exclude from assessment for bene-
fits on account of the avenue, all property ly-

as at present. The amount to be expended IN

this work. The examiners were Roads En-
