the financing plan and that the money was available on a
Direct Assessment Loan from the Community National Bank at
a 4 percent interest rate and that the Council had considered
a one year lien. Mr. Taplin then objected to the one year
plan on the basis that the three properties that he represent—
ed were being assessed the greatest portion of the total amount

and did not object to the amount of the assessment they would
like more than one year in which to pay the lien. Mr. Beatty
moved that theAssessment Lien be placed with a period of five
years in which to pay. Mr. Broeman objected to this motion
and stated that he felt it was not good business to permit
the lien to run for a period of five years The motion did
