The matter of assessing the grading of .streets in Manley's Sub -Division
against the abutting property was again brought up. The .Mayor stated that an
assessment for improvement could not be made against the property without his
final approval. President Lemmon requested the City Attorney to state his opinioi
on the matter and the City Attorney ruled that the assessment could be made
originally by a 5/7 vote of the Common Council and in the event the Mayor failed
to approve it the Council had the same power to override his veto as they would
have in the case of any veto of a resolution or ordinance.
