Exceedingly warm and sunny

tive scouting the ground at Fifth

"The object of the egg hunt,"
the Easter bunny agent said, "is
to hide the shelled eggs in tall
grasses, Mong walks and in other
places where their colored cam-
ouflage makes them hard 'to see."
SOME EGGS, to 1)e maked, will
be worth cash to those finding
them. Up to $50 will be awarded
the sharper-eyed children bring-
ing in the special eggs.
To give all child|'en equal ()t}poy -

discover the prize ones there will
be four separale age groups:
years 1 to 3, 4 and 5, 6 to 8, and
9 to 11. Adults will not be per-
mitred to particilate in the hunt.
Activhms will serve as Easter

Repeal Amendment
On LI.D. Six
City commi.;sioners T u e s d a y
were advised by City Attorney
(;lenn E. C(}rrea to repeal all
amendment to the original I,.I,D.
6, which relates to the financing
of the Raih'oad avenue improve-
ment project.
ACTING UPON the confirma-
tion of the Attorney General's of-
rice and the State Division of Mu-
nicipal Corporatiom, the city at-
torney advised that the city could
not legally assum( 12 per cent of
the total cost of the Railroad ave-

was no budget item in the clty'a
current e×p0nse hind f,)r this pur-
pose at th(' time the amendment
was passed in I)ecentber of 1[)48, as
requited by stah statute.
"Furthermorc," :he city attof
ney pointed (,lit, "this expenditure
by the city it, assist in the financ-
ing of Lhis improvement does not
come ulldor the 1)rovision ()f an
'emergency' as to curc presently

which are. to be subsequently issued
in lieu thereof.
Unless the ;nnendment is re-
pealed, no me[hod would be avail-
able to as3ess the members of the
district for the 12 per cent to the
total cost of improvement, as pro-
po'd t( I)e assumed by the city,
after the asscssncnt roll is con-
firmed.
Acting on tik above advice of
the city attorney and state author,
ities, the city commission has or-
dered the city attorney to draft
