decided on making an allowance for
the curbing and grading, concluding
that the property owners had once
paid for 1t and should not be charg-

tribute literally towards the cause
The committee expects to collect suf-
ficient money within the next month
to warrant commencement of opera
tions. The architectural flrm of
