Resurfacing Mr. Hutchinson and sir. Brooks ap,aeared
N.Cayuga St. informally in behalf of property owners along
that portion of North Cayuga Street for which
assess:.ients were levied for resurfacing in 1930. They
asked that a refund be allowed or a credit against future
taxes be authorized to the extent of the amounts paid by the
various property owners for this resurfacing. They claimed
that this assessment worked an injustice to these property
owners because property owners on the same street south of
Cascadilla Creek, as well as those owning property where
resurfacing was done in 1931 paid no assessment. After
some discussion it was agreed that they should take the
matter up after the first of the year with the new
