Inasmuch as the City �ouncil ha: been preaen�ed with a propomed ordi�nce
for street maintenwnce ott a new bamis ofl assessments against abutti.ng
property of pri�ate hons owners, and
Ins�s�uch as the slight reduction in per Pront-foot assema�ent for the

■ub�tantial reduction in ser�ricee proposed, and
Inas�uch a�a �aore thatt half o$ the proposed assess�enta woul� be against
residential properties, �nd
Iaa��uch as no public hearin� on such assessmettts has beez� rcquired
prior to this year, ao that Pew ho�ue ownera are even aware oP this
right to speo.k out on their affected interests, and
Iziasnuch a� extension of this assess�ent sy�te�► would �erre to solidiPy
uzd per�atuate the levy of specie�l costs against the citizens of 3t.
