OF w. c. Davisson for the purpose OF
deciding upon a course of action 10
prevent the levy against the property
subject to assessment for the paving OF
this portion of Broadway. which the
owners believe TO be invalid.
1t is the contention Of the property
owners that pursuant to the statutory
requirement that before any contract

the city authorities must cause an en-
gineer's estimate of the cost TO be pre-
pared and filed in the office of the city
clerk for inspection of property owners
Cost Placed at $4,000.
They further contend that during the
month of March. such an estimate OF
the cost of the proposed improvements
was prepared and filed, and that the
aggregate estimate of cost, according
to the figures prepared by the city en-
gineer was the sum of $2oO766l.
1t is further contended by the prop
erty owners that thereafter the city
authorities caused the necessary pro
ceedings to be had, and advertisements
for bids to be made, and that the paw
ing company to which the contract was
awarded, filed its written bid to con
struct the improvements for the aggre
gate sum of $l9,0l5.52, a sum slightly
