. . . . , and is now obligated for the entire assessment on James Circle of about $16,000. When he sold the first four or five lots he didn't take into consideration the cost of the street in the price of the lots. Asked if some adjustment could be made on the assessment for James Circle in consideration of the preliminary work he had done. Mr. Lund, village consulting engineer, verified that he had seen a statement that was sent to Mr. Johnson for $3,367.50 of which about $2,003.00 represented work that did not have to be done by the Village under the improvement.
