provements for Hovland Subdivision by special assessments. In the

is not any easy problem to resolve, but the Board has their welfare
in mind. Trustee Schleicher asked the Building Commissioner to prepare
a map for each Board member, showing the proposed improvements and the
amounts assessed against each property, since it was the opinion of
the residents that there were inequities in the assessments.

sewer extension requested by Mr. Coleman.
