At 10:30 0'clock A.M., the Council held a hearing on second reading of an ordinance pertaining to paving Scenic Drive. MR. EMMETT SHELTON asked the Council to set aside a paving assessment which had been issued, and listed the various transactions of the subdividing of the Herman Brown tract, and the paving of Scenic Drive. He said the paving procedure had not been followed in this case, and the whole procedure was void.
