solutions for each payment which
exceeds $500.
TOPPING asked for the money for
streets to be completed in his SUBJ
division because he was losing
money on the sale of the lots due
to the cost of building the streets.
According to figures quoted yes
terday, he is selling the lots for
$1,000 after investing $1,000 in
them for fill and grading and other
costs and improvements.
Commissioner Jack Delaney
said, "The contractors made an
error in business judgement and
he came to the city for relief"
However, Cobo has been the
most vehement in his condemna-
ton of the deal saying that it may
set a dangerous precedent for
other contractors. He has gone on
record as asking that the city
make a survey of other develop
ments to determine how much
street building is necessary and
then asking for bids on the work.
The city yesterday took steps to
prevent repetition of the incident
when they passed an emergency
ordinance introduced by Mayor
C. B. Harvey establishing policy
for the future in making street
improvements.
The measure was passed unani-
mously making it unnecessary for
it to come up for second reading.
According to the terms Of the
ordinance, the city win pay one
third of the cost of the street build
ing in, subdivision already estab-
lished with their subsidy not to ex.
coed sac, 900.
The depth Of the fill needed for
the construction cannot exceed
three feet and the contractor of
the lot purchasers must pay the
balance. Funds for the construc-
ton will be obtained from the Gig
arctic Tax Fund.

declaration as to what you think
the Utility System can do by ask
ing the Utility Board to request our
firm to make such studies and
recommendations in respect to the
rates as suggested in the last
paragraph of our October IL, 1851
letter and as may be necessary to
establish the feasibility Of your
ideas as to the reductions.
The October letter from Beck to
c. A. Van Deursen, manager Of
the System stated:
I'VE believe that every effort
should be made toward the end
that rate reduction may be made
after the completion Of the new
plant or somewhat in the oper-
ating year 1858. However, the
situation should be carefully
analysed about that time"
