All of the hereinabove described improvements be constructed together with incidentals and appurtenances, including storm sewers and drains, as and where shown on the plans relating to said improvements and in strict accordance with the plans and specifications therefor. li. Payment for such improvements shall be made in the following manner, to wits (a) The abutting property and the owhers thereof shall be assessed and pay for not exceeding all of the cost of curbs and gutters plus nine-tenths (9/.Oths) of the remaining cost of the improvements in the unit upon which such property is situated. 35 (b) After deducting the amounts assessed against and paid by the abutting property and the owners thereof, the remaining cost of said improvements shall be paid for by the City of WichitaFalla, Texas. It is contemplated that where the property abutting the unit to be improved fronts on said unit, said abutting property and the owners thereof shall be assessed and pay for not more than seventy-five per cent (75%) of the total cost of the improvements in the unit on which the respective properties abut and that where the property abutting the unit to be improved does not front on said unit, abutting proper- ty and the owners thereof shall be assessed and pay for not more than sixty per cent (60%) of the total cost of the improvements. The City of Wichita Falls, Texas, will pay for that portion of the cost of the improvements which is not assessed against the abutting property and the owners thereof. The amounts payable by the abutting property and the owners thereof shall be assessed against such property and against the real and true owners thereof and shall be a first and prior lien upon the property upon which assessments are levied except State, County, School District and City ad valorem taxes, and a personal liability of the owners of said property. 5. Assessments against abutting property and the owners thereof shall bear interest at the rate of six per centum (6%) per annum, payable annually except as to the first installment which matures in less than one year, which interest on said first installment 0141l be payable at the maturity of said installment. That said assessments shall be payable in five (5) equal installments due respectively on or before ten (10) days, one (1), two (2), three(3) and four (4) years after completion and acceptance of the improvements in the unit for which the particular assessment is levied, provided that if default be made in the payment of any installment when due, then at the option of the owner and holder of the certificate issued in evidence of the particular assessment, the entire assessment in connection with which default is made shall mature and become due and payable, together with reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of collection, if incurred. 6. It is estimated that the City of Wichita Falls, Texas, will have avail- able for payment for its portion of the cost of the improvements to be constructed approximately$64,000.00. This amount is not sufficient to pay the Cityts portion of the cost of all of the improvements herein ordered. Therefore, only some of the hereinabove described portions of the streets, avenues and public places will actually be improved. The units to be improved shall be improved and shall have preference in the order in which said units are numbered, that is, Unit No. 60 shall have first priority, Unit No. 61, second priority, et cetera, until all of the funds of the City have been exhausted. When such funds have been exhausted then no other units will be improved. It is contemplated that in many units several parcels of abutting property will be exempt from the line of special assessment and that the owner or owners of such property will not satisfactorily secure the payment of the cost of the improvements so that skips and leave-outs in some such unit or units will be so numerous as to make the improving of the balance of such unit or units impracticable. For that reason, the construction of improvements in such unit or units maybe entirely abandoned. It shall be the policy of the City of Wichita Falls, Texas, to permit, however, at least one fifty foot skip or leave-out per unit, provided such fifty foot skip or leave-out does not occur at an intersection. This provision, or a provision similar hereto,-mill be inserted and made a part of any contract awarded for the construction of the improve- ments. 7. No assessments shall be levied against any property or its owner until after notice and hearing as provided by law, nor in excess of special benefits to the particular property resulting from the improvement for which assessment is levied. 8, Proceedings shall be taken and assessments levied pursuant to and in accordance with the law passed at the First Called Session of the Fortieth Legislature of the State of Texas in 1927, shown as Chapter 106 of the Acts of said Session, to- gether with any amendments of said Act, such Act being shown as Article 1105b of Vernon's texas Civil Statutes which Act, together with all amendments thereto, has heretofore been incorporated in and made a part of the Charter of the City of Wichita Falls, Texas. 9. The City Clerk is directed to prepare, sign and file with the County Clerk of Wichita County, Texas, a notice in accordance with the provisions of the Act passed by the Fifth Called Session of the Forty-First Legislature of the State of Texas and shown as Chapter 21 of the Acts of said session of the Legislature, said Act having been passed in the year 1930. 10. Each unit herein ordered improved shall be and constitute a separate and independent unit of improvement, and the assessments herein provided for shall be made for the improvements in each unit according to the cost of the improvements in that unit, and according to the benefits arising from the improvements in that unit, and 36 and according to the benefits arising from the improvements in that unit, and independent of the costs and of the benefits arising from the improvements in any other unit. 11. The improvements may be omitted abutting any property exempt from the lien of special assessments for street improvements unless the owner or owners of such property shall satisfactorily secure payment. Should the owner or owners of any property exempt from the lien of special assessment fail to satisfactorily secure payment for the improvements to be constructed, then the City of Wichita Falls, Texas, may determine that no improvements of any nature whatsoever will be constructed on that unit. 12.
