Note 151 — Chapter XVII · IMPROVEMENT OF PRIVATE STREETS.
Reading edition
In some districts the urban authority make an additional charge of 5 per cent. upon the total outlay to cover the cost of preliminary surveys and supervision of the work by their surveyor; this 5 per cent., however, is not paid to him, but is paid to the city treasurer, and thus becomes a set off against his salary.
