OWNERS
MUST PAY STREET
ASSESSMENTS NOW
City Council Will Force Those
Five Years In Arrears
to Settle

BY vote of A to the city council
last night registered its opposition to
any further leniency or extenuation be-
ing shown the owners of property in
the city who are more than five years
delinquent in the payment of street as.
sessment improvements and who have
not bonded or paid the interest on de-
iinquent assessments.
Alderman Mcclellan introduced the
matter when he moved that the council
reconsider its action at the former
meeting when the city attorney was
instructed to bring foreclosure pro.
ceedings against all property owners
more than five years delinquent in
their payment of street improvements
who had not bonded. Mr.. McClelland
stated he knew many people who want
ed to pay but couldn't and that fo1
the city now to press them with fore
closure proceedings would work a
needless expense and hardship upon
them. He said he would postpone legal
proceedings till after the war and
would make his motion as a wal
measure.
{. Alderman Roberts, who fathered the
motion to foreclose at the previous
meeting, took the floor in its defense,
stating that Mr. McClelland's IS heart
was III The right place but that he was
on the wrong track. He stated that
foreclosure proceedings would only be
brought against those who had not
bonded when they could do so if they
wished and thus give the city some as.
surance they really wanted to pay OF
even intended to.
Alderman Ward was of the same
mind as McClelland, expressing him
self as of the opinion that the city
should delay action. "Make the big
guns pay and the little ones come
through and at least try to pay. ]
have heard many of them say that
they would pay if we would make the
big fellows come through
Alderman Unruh then arose and as
serted that if he had heard the same
thing once he had heard it hundred
times, and that was exactly the rea-
son the measure had been introduced
to foreelose. He stated that fully rs
per cent or more of those that came
within the class of non-bonded delin'
quents could pay if they wanted to OF
at least could bond. He intimated that
because the little fellows held back
from paying because the big fellows
wouldn't pay was no reason why len
ieney should be shown anybody. "They
can petition the council now to bond
if they want to and l don't think tht
council would turn them down. II
would help them as well as the council
and would protect them from fore
closure proceedings. :"
The motion to reconsider was then
put, losing by vote Of 4 to 5.

tract to paint the floor of the comfort
