funds and residents he charged for curb and gutter only since
residents were not receiving any benefit, from the new street.

is not in terms of improved value to property but in terms of
improved use. He stated he felt the assessment policy was
equitable in this case and consistent with assessments made
in the past in similar situations.

in Plymouth and the assessment policy for streets was fair and equal.

of;! Vicksburg wherever possible to limit the hazard to the traffic
on the thoroughfare.

rolls was predetermined before the hearings.
