for all the street paving that Is TO be
done during the succeeding calendar
year. After the bids are opened they
are published for a month. and the
property owners are given an oppor-
tunity to petition for the type of pave
ment that they desire. Thereafter GER
titicates are sold against the assess
ments for the work. and the proceeds
Of the sale Of the certificates are used
to pay the contractors.
The assessment proceedings are to

owners portion and doing away with
the troublesome tax lien. The bonds

OF the property owners share of cost
rest not only for their security on the
fund created by the assessment. but
are made by law an obligation OF the
city and given specific lien against
the city's reserve funds. They may

their prompt disposal at times when
