trict lying between the street margin
and lines drawn parallel therewith
and 35 feet therefrom. The Second
subdivision shall include all lands ly
ing within the district lying between
lines drawn parallel with and 35 and

abutting upon the street or streets to
be improved be divided into blocks
of less than 210 feet, the improvement
district shall not, unless specially
provided by resolution establishing
the same, extend further back than
to the center of any such block, and
the said subdivisions shall be pro
portionately reduced in size as to
such part of said improvement dis
trict, unless the resolution establish
ing said district shall provide that
said subdivision shall be of the full

or repaired, in which case no part of
the cost shall be charged or assessed
against any other property than that
immediately fronting and abutting
upon said street so improved.
The rate of assessment per square
foot in each subdivision shall be fixed
on the basis that the special benefits
conferred on a square foot of land in
subdivisions First, Second and Third
respectively are related to each other
as are the numbers 55, 30 and I5)jre-
spectively, and shall be ascertained
in the following manner:
The product of the number of
square feet in subdivision First, Sec
ond and Third respectively, and the
numbers 55, 30 and 15 respectively,
shall be ascertained, and their sum
taken, which sum shall be divided in
to the total cost and expense of such
improvement. The products of the
resultant quotient and the numbers
55, 30 and 15 respectively shall be the
separate rates of assessmigit per
square foot for subdivisions First,

cel of land or other property respec
tively. Provided however, that the

apportionment of the cost of such
street improvements, and upon such
hearing may make such changes
therein as shall be necessary to make
such apportionment equitable and
just.

apportionment as are therein provid
ed for, and when the same shall have
