After Attorney G. A. Sutton had
addressed the council as to a bill of
$102.97 presented by Ross w. Tay-
lor, as the residue for paving done
on Mulberry street, the bill was re-
ferred to the street committee.
Residents on the south side of that
street agreed with the council to pay
all over $500 the paving cost The
council last year voted $500 for the
purpose, and the residents there paid
only 1929. The city made the con-
tract with Taylor and will have to
pay him, but can collect the amount
from the residents there, who made
the agreement with the city. This
should be done at once The city
in reality owes Taylor nothing, while
those residents do owe him $1O2.97,
II his bill is correct.
