IN A PEEVISH MOOD North E St. Property Owners Oppose Assessments. Property owners on North E street are highly incensed over the alleged misinformation given them by the board of public works in regard to the amount which the city would pay on the improvement of the street from Tenth to Sixteenth streets. Manufacturers along the line of the improvement declare that a member of the board of works informed them that the city would pay $7,750, in addition to the cost of the intersections of the streets and alleys, which the law requires the city to pay. The board of works and city clerk contend that the city agreed to pay only $7,750 including the cost of the street and alley intersections. It is said that meetings were held in the offices of the manufacturing concerns on North E street and that a member of the board, in his zeal to have the street paved with brick, misinformed the property owners. Now that the time for the paying of the avsessment is at hand complaints are being registered and the property owners are indignant. The city clerk's minutes show that the board of works, in public meeting decided to pay $7,750 including the cost of the intersections. Some property owners have declared that the clerk's minutes are wrong, but the clerk and board of works members as well as others say that the minutes are correct.
