The new building was valued at $6,O0O, the alteration at $500, and the total value was $6,5OO. Four inspections were made.
 At the board meeting there was considerable discussion about de- ferring payment of assessments on sanitary sewers. A measure de- ferring assessments on property owners on Nixon avenue and Spring street was made. Burgess Henry Zwick objected, saying he believed those who especially asked for the sewer should be expected to pay for their assessments now. Warden Sheridan said the idea was to make the burden as light as pos- sible now and declared he wished to be fair to all. Thus far $774.59 has been deferred on the Nixon avenue job and $3,353.97a on the Sprinp street work
 Later Burgess Burkus asked the assessment of $50 put on the prop erty of Alphonse and Loretta Meyer of Fairchild. street be de- ferred until the 32 feet involved IS benefited by the sewer.
