said council to be benefited by the improvement to be made for the purpose of lighting such
street or streets or public highway;

system be paid by the owners of the property embraced within the boundaries of such districts;
and

paying the monthly energy bills. These costs will be passed on to the property owners in the
district through an annual assessment. We estimate the assessments in the district to total
