(entlement-
The W. W. Armstrong Company of Aurora,
Illinois, is the holder of the bonds in Special
Assessment No. 99 for paving Keeney Avenue and
other streets.
Your audit shows a shortage in the assess-
ment that can be offset only by a supplemental
special assessment. in behalf of the holder of
the bonds, we ask that you levy a supplemental
special assessment sufficient to meet the de-
ficiency in the case.
Phis is important because the bonds Imre in
default. Bonds in default definitely hurt tn.e
dredit of the city.
We also ask yon to do everything in your
power to enforce the collection of the delin-
quent special assessments in this case.
Yours very respectfully,
