as follows:
There having been no protests filed
within the time specified by law, and
but one protest having been filed,
which was filed by the representative
of the Great Northern Railway Co.,
Feb. 3rd, 1917, and which cannot be
considered, Mr.. Odin G. Clay, repre-
senting the Great Northern Railway
Co., represented to the board that his
company will be required to pay ap-
proximately 80 per cent of the as
sessment occasioned by the creation
Of said district, and that while they
have been late in filing their protests
he believed that the board had the
right to use thar wi Judgment
wherever it appears that any n is
unjustly burdened, and that while the
Great Northern is always in favor of
public improvements, he feels that
some arrangement could be made
whereby the area included in such
special improvement district could be
reduced, which would be satisfactory
and fair to all concerned.
