The people here put up about S7.000 q year for their Y. M. c. A. work, and one should be able to do something with that amount of money at his disposal.

ALARMED AT PROTESTS


 City officials are alarmed at the continued protests being made py property owners against assessments for street and sidewalk improve ments. The adjourned meeting ot the council Wednesday evening to near protests from realty owners along Exeter and Fairfax avenues prom ises to bring out some interesting discussions. This is the night set to hear complaints against assessment of work done on those avenues recent ly. Last Tuesday evening there were Such a large number of owners pres ent to protest that special meeting will be necessary.
 '3 In discussing the situation. presi- dent of the council, John w. Brooks, stated the credit of the city would be impaired if assessments against realty owners are continued to be. assumed by the, city. Without re- ference to the merits of the individual complaints, he stated, the city would soon exhaust it's Legislative credit allowance if wholesale assessments for improvements were to be assumed by the city, and, in his opinion, the situation is drought with disaster for the city, unless some satisfactory basis of settlement Is reached on future assessments for improvement
 It is pointed out that in the past few years, the city has assumed
  against property owners for paving, street improvements and sewers This amount is to be paid out of tho gen eral funds, and is added to the al ready large bonded debt of the city, which all taxpayers must pay, The reason for assuming these obligations are varied and were allowed after each individual case had been looked into by the council.
 Many property owners along Exter and Fairfax claim they have been enormously taxed with improvements which do not benefit their property, and in order to clear this angle of vEc situation the city engineer will inoet with the council Wednesday evening to review each protest. The assessments will be made final at that time, and the only recourse for owners after that will be to adjust the claims through the courts, in case the city stands pat on the as easements of the engineer.
