The City I',janager, vd H Lodgers, called attention of the Corimission
to the fact that the City "or-u,iissi on of Lubbock had previously
on various dates passed certain paving ordinances for the paving
of various streets in the City of Lubbock, and that by the terms
of said ordinance a tax and paving lien had been assessed against
all abutting property on said streets, and that many of said streets
had not been paved and various and sundry oivne-s whose property had
been assessed for paving purposes were desirous of securing loans for
the purpose of building and improving their property, and were unable
to secure said loans for building purposes on account of said out-
standing paving ordinances, because said ordinances constituted a
cloud >>pon their title. rind the City Corulission, alter fully dis-
cussing and considering said matter, upon r.�otion of Commissioner
flrcl:•illan and seconded by Commissioner Fortenberry, unanimously passed
the follo:ving resolution.

oration on any property abutting on any street which the City of

a paving lien against and on which streets the paving has not been
laid by the City of Lubbock; that said releases of said paving liens
