SECTION 2. There being no further protests or testimony
<br />for or against or in reference to said improvements, benefits, or
<br />proceedings, said hearing granted to the real and true owners of
<br />properties abutting upon said street and highway within the limits
<br />and units herein defined, and to all persons, firms, corporations and
<br />estates, owning or claiming same or any interest therein, shall be,
<br />and the same is hereby closed, and all protests and objections, whe-
<br />ther specifically mentioned or not, shall be, and the same are hereby

<br />SECTION 3. The City Council hereby finds and determines
<br />upon the evidence heard in reference to each and every parcel of
<br />property abutting upon the street and highway and units hereinafter
<br />set out that the enhancement in value to accrue to said property and
<br />the real and true owners thereof by virtue of the construction of said
<br />improvements in said portions of said street and highway will be in
<br />excess of the costs of said improvements made and as herein
<br />assessed against said abutting properties and the real and true
<br />owners thereof; and finds that the apportionment of the costs of
<br />said improvements and the assessments hereinafter made are just
<br />and equitable and produce substantial equality, considering the bene-
<br />fits received and the burdens imposed thereby, and are in accordance
<br />with the laws of the State of Texas and the Charter of the City of
<br />Paris; and further finds that all proceedings and contracts heretofore
<br />had with reference to said improvements are in all respects, regular,
<br />proper and valid, and that all prerequisites to the fixing of the
<br />assessment liens against said abutting properties, as hereinafter
<br />described, and the personal liability of the real and true owners
<br />thereof, whether named or correctly named herein or not, have been
<br />in all things regularly had and performed in compliance with the law
<br />and the proceedings of said City Council.
<br />SECTION 4. In pursuance of said ordinance duly enacted by
<br />said City Council authorizing and ordering the improvement of said
<br />street and highway and units, including the said portions of said street
<br />and highway and units hereinbelow set out, which ordinance was passed,
<br />as aforesaid, on the 13th day of October, 1975, and in pursuance of
<br />said proceedings heretofore had and enacted by said City Council in
<br />reference to said improvements and by virtue of the powers vested in
<br />said City with respect to said street and highway improvements by the
<br />laws of the State of Texas, with particular reference to Article 1105b,
<br />Vernon's Annotated Civil Statutes of Texas, as amended, and the
<br />Charter of the City of Paris, there shall be, and is hereby levied,
<br />assessed and taxed against the respective parcels of property herein-
<br />after set out and within the limits below defined and against the real
<br />and true owners of such property, whether such real and true owners
<br />be named, or correctly named, or said properties be correctly de-
<br />scribed herein, or not, the several sums of money hereinbelow men-
<br />tioned and itemized opposite the description of the respective parcels
<br />of said property, the description of such property, the number of front
<br />feet of each and the amount assessed against the same and the real
<br />and true owners thereof, and where the amount so assessed against the
<br />corner properties has been computed by adjusting the frontage, such
<br />amount so assessed shall constitute a lien against the entire property
<br />abutting the paving actually constructed and not merely against the
<br />amount of frontage used as an adjusted basis for the assessment, and
<br />the names of the apparent owners thereof, all as corrected and ad-
<br />justed by said City Council, being as follows, to-wit:
