Mr. Ohose said he had boen legally sdvised that the adoption of tho resolution by the Board would not malte it obligatory on the Suporvisor ond Assessor to moko tho sssessmont, and it thoy mado tho nsscssment no furtbor ne- tion would be obligatory.

Thoy might 1nako the asscRsment, and, bofora roturning It, prosont it for the approval of thoso intorestod. Ar. Wacklor agreed with Mr. Chase. Mr. Obaxo sald that porsonally bo was in fa- vor of tho improvomont if it could bo acoom- Flishml without oxhausting tho powor of tha own to {esuo bonds. If 200,000 wero irsuod in bonds - on collaterals, the limit would be renchod, Deniel Goodwin, Jr., sald_ho was in favor of it. Ho had purchased in_Lalke View with this end in view. Ho bolioved tho pooplo of the town wero gemorally in favor of the im- provement. John~ V.

In making the nssessmout thoro would be no provision given for purchase, ‘Lho condemnation must como firat. Br. LodMoyne thought the land could naver bo obtained by followibg Mr, Chasc's method. Bomebody would object {o tho assossmont, and stavo the thing off forover. 'Pho Supervisorand Assessor conld nesumo tho property to be worth 80 much, and rofuso to make the assessment for & highor amount, If overybody's assont had to bo_obtalned, it would be o lon(.i timo boforo the addition was obtained, The law provided for obtnining this land by condemnation, aud in no other wiy.

There had boon such an undoratand- g under the formor nesossmont. . LoMoyno thought this mode of proced- ure a lnmo ono. If tho land was condemned first, und the assossment thou made, payment could bo made, and tho land would be obtnined. Mr, Chaso thought 8o, too, but it would prob- ably bo obtained against the popular vordiot. Mr. LoMoyne did not think it'wes worth while to try to suit ovorybody in Lako View. Iow many porsons had objected to the lagt asseus- wmont—an unfair ono? About half a dozeu.
