owners In the second paving district
did not want, but he failed to state
what they were.
Before the contract for paving was

the paving of the streets would en-
hance the value of abutting property

the apparently honest statements
made by the gentlemen he was posi-

done, and he as one or the people
jumped int.) the breach. At gn 11
expense to 1 imsclf he started a dsillj
