Under the 1911 Aot, it is necessary for the contractor to wait until the work is completed and then have the bonds issued to him. Under this procedure it is necessary for him to finance the work and then sell the bonds. Councilman Armstrong raised the question that if the contract was awarded on the basis of the engineer's estimate and before the work was started bonds were sold, it might be possible that there would be major protests to any additional assessment. Mr. Ingersoll admitted this would create a problem but he be- lieved it could be worked out and that the general practice would be to set the estimate higher than it is expected to let the contract for. City Mana- ger Blom said the city might be liable if the contract were let and it was impossible to sell the bonds. Mr. Ingersoll said if there was any doubt about selling the bonds, the contract is not let until the bonds are sold. Councilman Fletcher offered introduction of ordinance amending Ordinance No. 333, seconded by Councilman McNulty. Motion passed unanimously. City Attorney McCarthy advised this was the time set for hearing protests of street assessments under Resolution of Intention No. 1945-4. There were no protests. Councilman Armstrong offered adoption of resolution confirming street assessments under Resolution of Intention No. 1945-4 and moved its adoption, seconded by Councilman Fletcher. On roll call, resolution was unanimously adopted with Councilman inderson absent. RES0LUT ION No. 297 RESOLUTION CONFIRMING STREET ASSESSMENT No. 1945-4.
