'repairs in order to make the street safe for pedestrian traffic.
Mr. John Frenze of 420 S. Lafayette Street, appeared before the Board with a
request to be allowed to paint the house numbers on the curb and collect a fee of .15
from the property owners. After careful consideration of this matter, the Board in-
structed the Clerk to advise hr. Frenze that they do not wd.sh to become involved in
the matter, as their previous experience in a matter of the same kind a few years ago,
vas such that they do not care to expose themselves to the same criticism.

laward of dameges and the assessments of benefits in the atter of the vacation of the

2d being fully advised in the premises, the Board finds that the several lots and
arcels of land have been benefited and damged in the amounts shown on said roll.. The
card, therefore, decides to take final action on said. assessment roll and declares
ame in all things ratified, confirmed and approved without modification and the pro-
eed ings closed, and the alley vacated and all proceedings had with reference to said
lley vacation are hereby sustained..
The Eoard c laims f or various departments in the sum of $11,055.00 and hereby
ers City Controller to pay same.
