to aseerta'In`what they would accept for the portion of their property
needed to have a lOw strip available for the sidewalk construction

hedge; and give her a statement that there would be no assessment
against her property for the construction of the sidewalk and that she
— would receive a decrease in the assessed value of her property.
??ith regard to Mr. Bernard Miller, discussion with him- developed the
