Board to clear up some dout,-ts you may have as to the proper time for filing a remonstrance against street, improve- ments and the duty of the Board with respect to such remonstrances. There.are six steps in the proceedings at which the property owner must be heard: First, A public hearing after the passage of the preliminary resolution. At this time no written remonstrance is necessary and the Board has the pryer to disregard all protests. Second: P^ovision is made whereby a majority of the resident free#olders r,�sy petition for some kind of pavement other than those designated by the Board in the preliminary resolution. If such petition is filed, the Board must modify the resolution to include that kind ofopauement demanded -and see that plans and specifications there- for are oreoared and filed. Third. Eighty per cent of all owner of real estate subject to assessment for a street improvement, may file their written consent to the construction -of such improvement when the total cost exceeds fifty per cent gf the value of the property to be assessed. Fourth: "After t'e determination by the Board of the amount of special bene- 1"its which will accrue to,the property liable to be assessed on account of said improvement, said. Board may hear, confirm .modify or rescind said preliminary resolution If -said preliminary resolution is modified or confirmed and said street is finally ordered improved, such final resolution shall be final and conclusive on all parties unless ten days after the ddan named for hearing upon said preliminary resolution, a majority in number of the resident freeholders on said street _shall have remonstrated against said improvement..;..... -.In the event of such remonstrance, the improvement shall not be made unless specifically ordered by an ordinance within sixty days thereafter, passage by two-thirds vote� of the Council and approved by the Mayor". This is the only remonstrance provided for by the Statute and if such remonstrance is filed the Board has no further jurisdiction unless the work is ordered by Ordinance of the Council.
