Farragut Street Improvement District Paving Debated
Laredo City Council discussed forming an improvement district to pave Farragut street from Convent Avenue to L&GN tracks. City reports valued district at $222,950 with paving cost about $22,083, but charter limits cap annual tax at 15 cents per $100, making bond viability impossible. Petitioners were informed the request could not be granted under current charter provisions.
