<br />without charge to any property owner and the City Engineer offered to do all of the
<br />required engineering on his personal time, and at no cost to the several property owners
<br />to be benefited. The City Controller advised that funds will be accumulated in the
<br />j' General Improvement Fund, and as soon as sufficient for the financing of this improve-
<br />ment, estimated to approximate k,000.00, the project will be instituted and completed.
