Discussion was held on the paving of the alleys dedicated in the East Charleston Boulevard area from 15th to Fremont. The City Attorney ad­vised the Board that the alleys could be included in the proposed assess­ment district, however, it was the opinion of the Bonding Attorneys if they are included, the assessments would have to be against property abutting the alleys on both sides. Mr. William Clark and Mr. Jimmy Crane were present and questioned the estimated cost of this improvement. These property owners were advised that it was estimated that the alley paving would run approximately $4.35 per front foot. They were also told that this amount was included in the original estimate of the cost of the Assessment District, and the only difference is that the alley paving will have to be paid in cash. Thereafter Messrs Clark and Crane indicated that they had no objections to this improve­ment. Commissioner Sharp suggested that the Engineering Department contact the property owners in the Assessment District to advise them of the cost of the alley paving and determine whether they are willing to participate in paving of the alley on a cash assessment district basis. Consideration was given to the deed from the Clark County School Dis­trict for 6.995 acres adjacent to the John C. Fremont School.
