WHEREAS, there are 14 miles of unpaved streets and
44 miles of unpaved alleys in the City of Evanston; and
WHEREAS, unpaved streets and alleys are relatively
expensive to maintain and cannot be continuously well main-
tained where drainage conditions are poor; and
WHEREAS, unpaved streets and alleys detract from the
appearance of neighborhoods and are a source of dirt, dust,
and irritation, and are a hazard for persons living on them
• and members of the general public traveling on them; and

law provides that a public improvement to be financed from
special assessments cannot be "ordered in" until and unless
the Board of Local Improvements holds a public hearing to
determine the extent of property oviner support and opposi-
tion; the Board of Local Improvements recommends to the
City Council that the improvement be made; and the City
Council, after due deliberation,. adopts an ordinance author-
izing the improvement:
