-.: "i ihe aeaeesmente levied by this ordinance for the !mprovementa 1~uea ch
Unit are altogether separate and distinct from assessments ln each and
ever7 other unit. The assessments tor improvements in one uni t are in
nowise affected by the improvements in or the aese esmenta levied for
the improvements tn any other un1 t• and in making and levying assessment s
the coste of the improvements 1n each Unit, the benefits by means of the
improvements, and all other matters and things w1 threference to the
improvements in each Unit, have been considered and determined alto-
gethe r without reference to any such matters in any other unit, and the
omioaion of the improvements in any unit shall in nowise af~eot or
impair the validity ot aaseaements tor the improvements in any other
un~t. The omission of improvements in any particular unit in fromt
ot any property exempt from the lien of such assessments shall in
nowise affect or impair the validity of asaeamnents against other
prope r ty in that unit.
IX.
No mistake, error, invalidity, or i~egularity in the name of any
property owner, or the description of any property; or the amount ot
any assessment, or in any ~ther matter or thing, shall in any wise
invalidate or impair any assessment levied hereby or any ce~t1ticate
isau~d, and any such mistake, error, invalidity, or irregularity,
whether in suoh assessment or in the certificate issued 1n evidence
thereof, may be corrected at any time b y the ~1ty.

The present eond1t1on of said streets and alleys endangers health
and safety, and it ia necessary that said 1mproTemente be proceeded
with while the weather will permit, and the oonatruot1on of eaid
