I feel it would be better for shrub and rose trimmings and bulky items to be stacked in piles instead of tied or put in boxes. Who is to handle commercial pickups.

Upon Roll Call it appeared the motion was unanimously carried, N The following is a report made by the City Engineers 6� At the Council meeting on March 3, 1958 1 was requested to provide the Council with information in which to clarify the request of Mr. Ssm Blakely inregard to the assessment of Local lmp'revement District h42. At the Council meeting when the Council authorized the advertisement for the sale of the bonds for L. !! 1 I. D. 42, 1 brought up Mr. Blakely's request again. It was the consensus of opinion of the Attorney - Engineer and douneil at that time that the request to have the assessment distributed equally over all properties in the district be denied for the following reasons. i 1. The assessment roll '.ad been duly submitted, accepted and advertised for the period required -by law for the hearing of protests. Since there were no protests at the meeting set aside for them, the Council authorized that the assessments be made and the procedure for the sale of the bonds be carried out. 2. Mr. Blakely was requested by the Engineer to submit a letter stating his reasons why the assessmeht should be changed. This he agreed to do but up until the time of the meet- ing at such the advertisement for the sale of bonds was authorized, no such letter had been received. 3. The assessments made in L. I. D. 42 were in conformance with the method by which assess- ments wee made in other prorated local improvement districts assessed at the same time. k. The Engineer had checked with the Councilman in charge of streets and the Mayor at the time the district was bormed and neither expressed a recollection of the assessment being made equally over the district, both, however, didexpress that it was their understanding that the oiling would be prorated half way back into the block. At the time L. I. D. q L22 was formed, this method of assessment had not be commonly uesed, therefore, was oneof -the first prorated districts. 5. A check of the minutes of the meetings at which the petitionaas presented or the re- solution of intention was passed oP when the Ordinance forming the district was passed, did not reveal any discussion or action which set forth the method of assessment. Isl Melvin L. Lewis Councilman Finley reported he found the tractor, offered for sale by War Surplus at Portland, in excellent condition.
