� �`� (inaudible). I'd want to talk to the engineer and talk to an appraiser, but at this point we're getting adverse and I was hoping the matter didn't get into an adversary situation because we are, and I trust, up until this point, have been in a more cooperative bent rather than an adversary bent." MR. FLAI�RTY: "2 don't think we're in an adversary posture yet." MR. POPOVICH: "But I have to determine whether it might end up that way." . . . . . Reporter changing tape . . . . . • MR. POPOVICH: "Would you get opposition from other quarters. Those are the things that come into play, They all got notices, Theoretically, the theory of the law is, they got notices. The mere fact that people don't come would at least indicate from whatever inquiry they made, due process has been satisfied. Supposing I was a property owner across the street and I called and asked what is the cost of the project. How many dollars would Flaherty pay and what do I pay, and so I say that's fair enough, I won't come. But if it's $10,000 more than you told me - you've reduced his and increased mine, and I don't want to get in that position, much as I can sympathi2e with what he wants to do. I've seen ten property owners where there was a 100� assessment - where they have aqreed to what the percentage would be and they've done it by unit charge and forgotten about the frontage and acreage and said we'll each pay one-tenth, so no matter what the cost came out later you have had that tenta- tive agreement between them that they won't be objecting, but to do it with one and not the other people does raise some problem if you're qoing to reduce it unless you say we will not change the others, but we will reduce yours. Hut only you can make that decision," MR. FLAHERTY: "Don, I was looking at the study you gave the Council on January 16. I don't believe in that study you really address yourself specifically to how you're going to assess it, and apparently there was a paragraph that the Buetow people took up from and assumed that perhaps as far as a gutter and street are concerned you would do it on a front footage basis, and the storm sewer would be on an acreage basis." �
