Hammond, weth form for advertising attached same read and approved by the Board: March 15,1922. Board of.Public Works, City of South Bend) Ind. Gentlemen: -- I have been asked by the Mayor to exmmnn.e,the legal notices recently published by order of your Board, a copy of which is.enclosed herewith, and to advise your Board upon the possiblity of cutting these notices down in order to save expenses of publica- tion"s. It is my opinion that more than fifty -per cent-per.this sppace can be saved with - .out affecting the validity of the notices. The following is the language of the Statute with respect to the contents of the notice: " Notice -of such resolution shall be published once each week for two weeka which notice shall call attention to the passage of preliminary resolution and shall state on a day named, not less than ten days from the date of the last publication when the Board will hear all persons inte ested or whose propertyis liable to the assessed for the proposed improvement, and will decide whether the bnefits to the property liable to be assessed for such improvement will equal the estimated costs thereof," Much -of the matter contained in the notices as printed is a repetition nd much of it is not required by law to be stated in the notice for example, nearly all ti4le notices describe in detail the character of construction of each improvement followed by the statement that details, drawings , plans, and specifications are ell filed in the office of the Board of Works. The law requires ftly that pp�roperty olvners be notified of the passage of the preliminary* resolution and of the time fixed. for the hearing and in my judgement the notice is sufficient if it idenitifies the street or alley which is to be improved and fixes the day for the hearing. I belie e the tax payers of the City can be saved thousands of dallfars in this one item of advertising expense, particularly since under the present law these notices are now required to be Oublished in two newspapers instead of one ad as formerly provided. I inclose -;herewith a form which I believe would comply with all the requirements of the Statute and will illustrate the manner in which these notices may be publishdd. Co of form submitted. Respectfully yours, Copy L. W. HAMMOND ity Attorney.
