undersigned undersigner under signed respectfully fully represent that on the day of january 1892 they petitioned your honorable body relative to the sewer lateral being laid on south temple street and cepro representing enting that the amount assessed to wit 2 cents per square foot 10 rods back was greatly excessive that the work could be done for much less than 1 cents per square foot and asking king that the tax a aa essed eased be made to conform in amount to the actual cost of the improvement that said was waa referred and such much recommendations taken that bids bid were adver advertised for and roce received ived by your honorable body by which the representations of your petitioners petition ers were thoroughly veri verified flod but as yet the said prayer of of your petitioners petition ers that the amount of the assessment for this pur par pose be adjusted to the actual cost of the improvement has not been aced upon whereas the said tax unless action be taken at once by your honorable body will be required to be fully paid on or before the dinst that the same being exorbitant and unjust will work a great hardship you upon the people concerned and particularly upon certain c citizens who are not financially able to pay the same wherefore your now respectfully pray that eliat the time for the payment of said assessment be extended by bi your honorable body until the matter can be fully investigated and decided your petitioners petition ers further represent that they have carefully computed the cost of said improvement according to the various bids received b by your honorable body and at whick which responsible firms have stood ready willing and anxious 1 to do the work and give heavy bonds for the faithful performance thereof and we find that at the rate figured figure dupon upon by the lowest of the five bidders allowing that the city furnish the pipe at the actual cost to it and computing buting the whole distance which the pipe won would af have to be laid including street and taking into consideration manholes bess junctions functions etc the cost would be 39 less for each block than the amount of the cites assessment in other words it would be done tor for 13 18 cent per square foot instead of 2 cents and for 66 per cent of we city citha a estimate that the cost of the same according to the very lil highest 1 best of said bidders bidders estimates couil would be only 16 cent per square toot and most of the bids are much lower than that wherefore your petitioners petition ers pray relief as above the collector was instructed not to coneck collect the tax until further notice DEPUTY RECORDER on recommendation of recorder stanton St antoo elmer A ellsworth Elte worth was appointed deputy city recorder appointment
