Whereas, in 1916 the City Council ordered the improvement of Clay Street, Eighteenth Street and Couler Avenue from the North property line of Third Street to the north property line of Twenty- second street; and Whereas, said improvement was constructed by C. B. McNamara Com. pany, Contractor, and said work was completed and accepted by the Coun- cil in 1917; and Whereas, several persons whose property was charged with special assessments to pay said improve- ment appealed therefrom to the District Court of Dubuque County, Iowa, and in July, 1920, said action was determined by said Court and a decree rendered by the terms of which the appellants were granted reduction upon their assessments amounting to fifty (50) per cent thereof, providing, however, that said assessments, as thus reduced, be paid on or before the 19th of August, 1920; and Whereas, some persons who were parties to said action paid their as- sessments in full before said action was decided in order to remove the cloud created thereby and making it possible for them to give clear title to purchasers, or for other reasons, while others who were not parties to said action either paid in full or in part or not at all; and Whereas, it is the desire of the City Council to make an equitable and just settlement with all parties affected by the assessment for said improvement in order to close up said assessment upon the books of the City, Be it, therefore, resolved that the following plan be adopted: 1. That all persons who paid their assessment in full before delinquent, whether they were parties to the suit or not, a refund be granted amounting to fifty (50) percent of such payment without interest there- on, and a warrant be drawn in their favor on the Treasurere for said amount. 2. That all persons who paid their assessment in part be granted a re- duction of fifty (50) percent upon their entire assessment and they be required to pay interest at the rate of six percent (6 %) per annum upon their assessment as thus reduced from the date of the last payment. 3. That all persons who have paid no part of their assessment and who were not parties to the suit, be granted a reduction of fifty (50) per cent upon their assessment, but be required to pay interest upon the assessment as reduced from the date of acceptance of the work at the rate of six per cent (6 %) per annum. IV. That inorder to receive the benefit of the reduction herein pro- posed, all assessments must be paid on or before the 23rd day of Septem- ber, 1920, and if the assessments are not then paid no reduction will be allowed and the entire assessment shall be collected and the Treasurer is hereby instructed to notify all persons of the action of the Council, and if any person fail themselves of the privileges hereto provided for within the time prescribed, it shall be the duty of the Treasurer to certify all such unpaid assessments to the County Auditor to be by him certified to the County Treasurer for collection by sale of the property affected thereby.
