Resolution No. 466 -- Intention to Create SID No. 333
The City Manager stated thqt the City Attorney, complying with instructions given
him at the last regular meet:ng, had prepared a resolution of intention to create Special
Improvement District No. 333, for paving certain streets in the south part of the City.
Messers. E. R. Dye, A. J. M. Johnson, Mrs. H. S. Cannon, Mrs. J. C. Whitham, Mrs.
C~ B. Swim, Mrs. Jas. Fitzgerald., Mr. .T. R. Jeffers, J. R. Parker, Geo. Gillette, M:. G.
Swingle, H. A. Croonquist and others were present to discuss this paving proposal.
Mr. Dye, Mr. Johnson and. Mrs. Carmon spoke at length to protest against certain
streets in which they were interested being included_in the proposed district. Mr. J. R.
Parker and Mr. Croonquist spoke in favor of the district as proposed. It was pointed
out by the protestors that, in certain blocks in which they were particularly interested,
most owners had already signed p3titions opposing the paving and that these blocks should
not be included in the proposed district. Mr. Parker and Mr. Croonquist presented ar-
gument,s that these certain blocks in question sho'IJld be included so that the district
would not be left partially completecJ; that the dis trict proposed would be large enough
so that lower bids should be received for its construction than if it were broken up
into small districts; and that there were sufficient signers from every section of the
proposed district, asking for its creation, to warrant passage of the resolution of
intention so that the entire district would be given a chance to be created on its
merits on the basis of the percentage of protests filed against it.
After the Commission had considered all arguments for and agains t the proposal,
the City Manager presented Resolution No. 466, entitled:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF' THE CITY OF roZEMAN, MONTANA,
