He estimated the assessable portion at $4.18 per front foot. The Mayor asked if there were any objections to the project and there were none. Commissioner Watkins moved that the Engineer be instructed to put the project, as outlined, out for bids and that it be assessed on a front foot assessable basis and that the City contribute as their part the resurfacing of the street after the other work has been completed as the necessary funds are available and the proper off'icials be authorized to execute.
