Farragut Street Improvement District Appeal Denied
Laredo City Council's bid to create an Farragut street improvement district failed after City Engineer and Assessor reports showed a $22,083.05 paving cost and charter limits cap annual taxes at 15 cents per $100 valuation, insufficient to cover bond interest and sinking funds. Petitioners sought district bonds to fund paving from Convent Avenue to the I G N tracks, but council advised denial.
