WHEREAS, on February 1, 1943 the Village Council adopted a resolution levying assessments for storm sewer in County Ditch No. 17, Storm Sewer and Drainage Ditch District, which assessments include assdssments against Lots 11 and 12, Block 6, Wooddale Park, in the sum of $133.00 each, and WHEREAS the said assessments against said lots were in said amounts as compared to $53.00 against adjacent lots because it was contemplated that the said drainage ditch would drain water from the basement of residence situated on Lots 11 and 12, and it now appears that although there is a constant flow of water through said drainage ditch draining said area that sub-surface waters nevertheless remain above the level of the basement floor of said property and continue to flood said basement and that it therefore now appears that the special benefit received by said property on account of said storm sewer and drainage construction is not in excess of the benefit received by adjoining lots; therefore, BE IT RESOLVED by the Village Council of the Village of St. Louis Park that said assessments against Lots 11 and 12, Block 6, Wooddale Park, in the sum of $133.00 each be hereby reduced to the sum of $53.00 each and that the amount in excess of said $53.00 be hereby canceled and that installment payments upon said assessments be hereby reduced to correspond with the installment payments upon the assessments in the sum of $53.00 against adjacent lots, 13 and 14, all upon condition that Harold 0. Nelson and Georgiana Nelson, owners of Lots 11 and 12 execute release to the Village of all claims for any damage to person or property on account of water on or under said property. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Treasurer of the Village and the Treas- urer and Auditor of Hennepin County be hereby authorized and directed to reduce said assessments and installments thereof upon their respective records upon receipt of a certified copy of this resolution and a certificateof the Village Clerk showing execution and delivery of said release by Harold 0. Nelson and Georgiana Nelson in accordance with this resolution, and that payments hereto- fore made of installments of said assessments to the extent that the same are in excess of the installments of said assessments which have heretofore accrued as adjusted by this resolution, be refunded to Harold 0.
