tions of said abutting property as set out in said Director of Public

the fact, and it shall not be necessary to give the correct name of any
such owner, and no error or mistake in attempting to name any such
owner or in describing any of said property shall invalidate any
assessment or certificate issued in evidence thereof, but nevertheless
the real and true owner of said abutting property shall be liable and
the assessment against said property shall be valid whether or not
such owner be named or correctly named, or said property correctly
described.
SECTION 6. The fact that there are no permanent street improve-
ments on Morgan Avenue, Kokernot Avenue and Baylor Avenue, within the
limits above defined, and that such streets have become important thorough-
fares and connect important thoroughfares and the fact that the present
condition of these streets is dangerous to the health and public welfare
of the inhabitants thereof creates a public emergency and an imperative
public necessity, requiring the suspension of the Charter Rule, that no
ordinance or resolution shall be passed finally on the date of its intro-
duction and that said ordinance shall be read at three several meetings
of the City Council, and the Mayor having declared that such emergency
and imperative public necessity exist, and having requested that said
