At a recessed regular meeting of the Board of City Commissioners of the City of Las Vegas, Clark County, Nevada, held on the 5th day of December, 1928, at the hour of three o'clock, P. M. PRESENT: His Honor, the Mayor, J. F. Hesse; Commissioners W. B. Mundy and W. C. German, together with the City Attorney, Assessor and Clerk. ABSENT: Commissioners Roy Neagle and O. J. Smith. Meeting called to order by the Mayor. This being the time set for hearing of protests against the assessments on lots in the City of Las Vegas for the paving of certain city streets in said City, the Clerk was directed to read all written protests filed with him. Whereupon the Clerk read a written protest from A. W. Ham relative to an apparent mistake in the assessment against Lot 11, Block 2, Hawkin's Addition. It appearing to the Board that the assessment amounting to $194.03 is an error and that the same should be $144.03, it was ordered, upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, that the Clerk correct the Assessment Roll for Special Assessment No. 11 against the above named lot to read $144.03 instead of $194.03. The Clerk thereupon read the written protest of Caroline Shaw. This protest was rejected upon the ground that it was a protest against the type of pavement and that the time had passed for the hearing of such protests. The Clerk then read the protest of Lucy Dittman, protesting against the assessment charged to her on Lot 29, Block 1, Clark's Las Vegas Townsite, on the ground that she was not the owner of said lot. It appearing to the Board that Mrs. Dittman was not the owner or in any manner interested in said lot, and it further appearing that James R. Johnson is the owner of said lot, it was ordered that the Assessment Roll be corrected, and that the assessment against said lot be charged to the said James R. Johnson instead of to Lucy Dittman. Mrs. Mary Nettles appeared and protested against the amount of assessment assessed against several lots owned by her. This protest was rejected on the ground that the assessment against said lots is not excessive, as charged by Mrs. Nettles. Upon motion of Commissioner Mundy, seconded by Commissioner German, it was ordered that said Assessment Roll No. 11 created for the paving of streets and erecting of curbs in accordance with Ordinances No. 131 and No. 133, be, and the same is hereby confirmed by the Board of City Commissioners of the City of Las Vegas as corrected on this 5th day of December 1928, and that the City Clerk endorse on said roll the date and fact of said confirmation. The vote on said resolution and motion was as follows: Commissioners W. B. Mundy, W. C. German and His Honor the Mayor Hesse, aye; noes, none. No further business appearing, upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the meeting was recessed to December 6th, 1928, at the hour of three o'clock, P. M.
