that

the fact that she had sold a portion of her lot that the Trustees,

sewer assessment, owing to the fact that both assessments had been made
and published it was the sense of the,.Board that no changes could•now be
legally made.

Sunset Drive be deferred was presented together with a letter from Mr.
Jared T. Newman stating.that',there appeared to be.no necessity for the
