Nays -- Farrar, Zbsent--Devers. So the motion prevailed. The City Attorney gave the following opinion: April 4, 1910. To the Honorable Mayor and Council of the City of Caldwell, Idaho, Gentlemen: In re bonds of Local Sewerage Impoovement District No. 3, will say that I have again examined the laws govecning the issuance of these bonds, and especially the st4ituted of this state, and am of the opinion that the laws governing the Issuance of same have been substantially complied with. The point line been raised that Ordinance No. 139 provided that said bonds shall be paid at the and of ten ye4ra and that in order to meet said payments the council must levy equal annual assessments. The law governing this subject is found in I. R. C. Sec 2353, paragraph 11, and a careful examination of said section will show that if the city does not deem it advisable to have the cost of constructing the sewer paid for in one assessment they nay issue bonds therefor to mature in ten years. The city had availed itself of this privelege and has provided that coat of said sewer may be paid for in ten year bonds. On examining the statutes, and the Ordinances of the City of Caldwell passed in conformity therewith and by virtue thereof, it is apparant that any person who is assessed in said district may pay his entire assessment at One time, or he may pay it In ten equal annual installments with interest at 8 per cent pnrdeferred payments, or he may avail himself of the bond issue and make his payments as provided therein. The bonds may be made payable on or before a date not to exceed ten years from and after theidate of said bonds and nothing is provided by statute as to when the sinking fund shall be assessed and collected except that same must be sufficient to pay said bonds at maturity. At the suggestion of a member of the James Kennedy Construction Co. it was provided in Ordinance No. 143 that the sinking fund shall begin to accumulate after the year 1915, one -fifth to be paid each year thereafter. This was done to facilitate the sale of the bonds and refers to the bonds only. The provision concerning annual installments in Ordinance 139 Is but the incorporation of the statutory provisions allowing any person to pay his assessment any time vithin the ten years period ,without regard to the bond issue. Yours very truly, JOHN J. PLOWHF.AD City Attorney. Voted, on motion of Farrar that the same be spread at length upon the minutes and certified copies of the same be furnished contractors. The Mayor appointed Farrar and Poynter members of Fire Committee. 0 A motion was made by Farrar that the Water Committee and City Engineer be empowered to receive bids for additional wells at the City pumping plant. The roll being called on the motion, 'he vote resulted: Ayes -- Clark, Farrar, Gartin, Harris, Paynter--5. Nays - -0. Absent-- Davers. So the motion prevailed, Petition of officers of'Oollege of Idaho praying the Council "to include the grounds comprising the College Campus in Sewer District Tio. 3" was read. It was suggested that the City Engineer prepare the plane and estimates and the City Attorney the necesaary ordinances to create another lateral sewer district.
