their front footages is'universal in the Village unless the petition for
the improvement has specified otherwise; that their assessment is Isvied 'irir.

He also called to Council's attention the matter of constructing two "loops1* in
this area, to eliminate the necessity of constantly flushing the mains. He
stated that this construction, in Benton Avenue from Bernard Place to 1/2
