bonds payablo in 10 annual payments
of one-tenth the cost of the payment.
Mr. Andrews states that Pendleton
paved 20 or more of, its blocks under
this law,- and that the cost averaged
$28 per abutting SO foot lot. Mr.
Andrews will favor to start wlrh the
paving of four blocks; on Adams ave
nue, from the Foley house to Green
wood street, and two blocks on Depot
street,: form the railroad grounds to
Its Intersection with Fourth street. '.
These bonds draw 6 per cent inter
est and the first payment is due one
year after the assessment oh the prop
erty Is made. The bond9 are drawn
in amounts not exceeding J500, and
can be retired at any time after the
first year.
