their respective opinions each parcel of property
abutting upon North Street within the limits to
be improved would be specially benefitted in en-
hancement in value as a result of the proposed
improvements and that in pach instance the amount
of such special benefits will be more than $6.41371
per front foot.
Mr. J. M. Gilliam, one of the owners of
property abutting upon North Street within the
limits above described appeared and praised the
City Council and the present administration for
this undertaking, expressed wholehearted approval
of the project and the opinion that the abutting
property,including his own, would be benefitted
in excess of $6.41371 per front foot.
After hearing the evidence presented,
no further persons or parties appearing and de-
siring to be heard or offer testimony, upon mo-
tion by Councilman Venza, seconded by Council-
man Kelly, said hearing was declared closed.
The hearing on Unit 10 was opened; the
limits of the improvements were described as
follows: -
Unit 10: Harrison Street, from the West
property line of Pine Street West-
ward to the East property line of
Grand Avenue. '
. The cost per front foot to the abutt-
ing property owners was announced to be $7.4458.
Messrs. Lindsay and Leach, in answer to ques-
tions propounded by the City Attorney, stated
that in their respective opinions erach parcel -
of property abutting upon Harrison Street within
the limits to be improved would be specially
benefitted in enhancement in value as a result of
the proposed irjprovements and that in each in-
stance. the amount of such special benefits will
be more than $7.4458 per fro-nt foot.
Mr. Marvin Pugh, Miss Maud -Lindsey, Mrs.
Louise Ohmstede, and Mrs. J. E. Stone appeared
in favor of the improvements and announced that
in their respective opinions the properties
owned by them or in which they were respectively
interested would receive special benefits in en-
hancement in value in excess of $7.4458 per front
foot.
Mrs. Mary Sandell McCall, owner of a par-
cel of property abutting upon said street to be
improved appeared and protested that her property
would not be benefitted in an amount equal to
the cost of the improvements. She pointed out
(10)
le)
that her property was used as a rooming house
but that she could not get rent -increases be-
cause cf the improvement and thus would not be
benefitted. The City Attorney asked the size
of her property, its frontage, and other perti-
nent questions so that the Council might better
consider this objection. Mrs. McCall indicated
that her property was business property, not
homestead property.
After hearing the evidence presented,
no further persons or parties appearing and
desiring to be heard or offer testimony, upon
motion by,Councilman Beard, seconded by Council-
man Venza, said hearing was declared closed.
The hearing on Utit.-Il was opened; the
limits of the improvements were described as
follows: -
Unit 11: Fourth Street, from the North line
... of College -Street Northward to the
North right-of-way line of the
Southern Pacific Main Line track
South of Angelina Street.
The cost per front foot to the abutting
property owners was announced to be $4.110507.
Messrs. Lindsay and Leach, in answer to ques-
tions propounded by the City Attorney, stated
that in their respective opinions each parcel
of parcel of property abutting upon Fourth Street
within the limits to be improved would be spe-
cially benefitted in.ehhancement in value as a
result of the proposed improvements and.that in
each instance the amount of such special benefits,
with the exception of Lots 5 and 6. Block 28,
Cartwright Terrace Addition, will be more than
$4.110507 per front foot. As to these two lots
because they were not full depth, both expressed'
doubt that the lots would be ben-efitted in the
full amount of the assessment. However, both
indicated that the oi-mership of a contiguous
property of full depth could sustain the assess-
ment in the amount per front foot proposed to
be assessed. The Council was shown that the
Owner of the above lots also owned Lots 3 and
4 and the South 1/2 of Lot 2 in the same Block
all of the property constituting one -parcel.
After hearing the evidence presented,
no further persons or parties appearing and de-
siring to be heard or offer testimony-, upon
motion by Councilman Venza, seconded by Council-
man Cokinos, said hearing was declared closed.
(g) That at none of said hearings were any objections,
protests or testimony offered as to said improve-
ments, the assessments or contracts therdf6r, or
as to any of the proceedings in reference thereto
exc.ept as hereinabove set out; and said City Council

ments, and has given a full and fair hearing to
all parties making or desiring'to make any'such
protests, objections or to offer --testimony, and
has fully examined and considered all of said evi-
dence, matters, -testimony and objections offered,
and based upon same, said City Council finds that
