reduce the assessment on nine proper

critics. Most Of the properties are
large, the nine having a total frontage
on the paving Of 1902 feet. A reduc-
ton was made on all Of the prop
critics on the east side Of the street,

cause all but one are vacant lotss. A
reduction was made in the Frazier
property on the west side, which is
