A TTENTION IS CALLED TO THE RECENT act of the Legislature (chapter 449, Laws of 1889),

which provides that whenever any streets or avenues in the city, described in any grant of land under water, from the Mayor, Aldermen and Commonalty containing covenants requiring the grantees and their successors to pave, repave, keep in repair or maintain such streets, shall be in need of repairs, pavement or repavement, the Common Council may, by ordinance, requir-the same to be paved, repaved or repaired, and he expense thereof to be assessed on the property

benefited ; and whenever the owner of a lot so assessed shall have paid the assessment levied for such paving, repaving or repairing, such payment shall release and discharge such owner from any and every covenant and obligation as to paving, repaving and, repairing, con-tained in the water grant under which the premises are held, and no further assessment shall be imposed on such lot for paving, repaving or repairing such street or avenue, unless it shall be petitioned for by a majority of the owners of the property (who shall also be the owners of a majority of the property in frontage; on the line of the proposed improvement.

The act further provides that the owner of any such lot may notify the Commissioner of Public Works, in writing, specifying the ward number and street number of the lot that he desires, for himself, his heirs and assigns, to be released from the obligation of such covenants, and elects and agrees that said lot shall be thereafter liable to be assessed as above provided, and thereupon the owner of such lot, his heirs and assigns shall thenceforth be relieved from any obligation to pave, repair, uphold or maintain said street, and the lot in respect of which such notice was given shall be liable to assessment accordingly.

The Commissioner of Public Works desires to give the following explanation of the operation of this act :

When notice, as above described, is given to the Commissioner of Public Works, the owner of the lot or lots therein described, and his heirs and assigns, are forever released from all obligation under the grant in espect to paving, repaving or repairing the street in root of or adjacent to said lot or lots, except one assess-ment for such paving, repaving or repairs, as the Corn mon Council may, by ordinance, direct to be made thereafter.

No street or avenue within the limits of such grants can be paved, repaved or repaired until said work is authorized by ordinance of the Common Council, and when the owners of such lots desire their streets to be paved, repaved or repaired, they should state their desire and make their application to the Board of Alder-men and not to the Commissioner of Public Works, who has no authority in the matter until directed by ordinance of the Common Council to proceed with the pavement, repavement or repairs.
