The Council approved a motion
that an improvement district be
formed and a petition obtained
from the Steve Ward corner to

possible the Sims block proper
ly for sidewalk work. The pro
perty owners would be assessed
two-thirds actual cost of putting
in appi'oximately six feet of addi
tional sidewalk. This is in a sec
tion where the B.P.R. is paving
the street and the contract calls
for only about a six-foot width
of sidewalk. No assessment may
be made on these property own
ers for the paving along tiheir
property.

The Council authorized the
transfer of $16,000 from the pro
perty tax fund into the bond
