facing Lexington were assessed. Both gentlemen objected to paying full cost
of assessment, said they would pay their share, and asked that another public

declare unequal distribution insofar as benefits are concerned; for instance,
that properties facing lkxington are benefited by 2/3 of cost, and Oak Drive
