The Assistant City Manager said that a petition r~pre- senting 84% of the property which would be assessed for the paving of Kincaid Street between 18th and 19th Avenues had been submitted, and he noted that the thrust of the petition was that the macadam su~facing which was done in 1921 and 1926 is satisfactory, that the owners of the property on the street are elderly and do not have fi~ancial resources to pay the assessments, and that the propo~ed paving would be unfair, un- lawful, and unauthorized under the City Charte~. The Public Works Di- rector pointed out that the property indeed had been previously assessed, but that it was not for permanent improvements, merely for grading and graveling the street, and that the street has been an expensive mainte- nance problem and that any macadam on the stree~ has been placed there for patching rather than as a permanent surface. Mr. Christensen moved seconded by Mr. Swanson to proceed with paving of the street.
