103. PAVING, (a) The City may provide for the initial
paving of any street or alley, and for any complete re-paving
thereof, whenever in its judgment the public interest and con-
venience so require.

(b) The entire expense of any such initial paving done
under the authority of this section shall be levied upon the
property binding upon such street, alley, gutter or sidewalk,
agreeably to the extent of such property thereon, except that
the city shall pay all the costs of paving the area within any
intersection. When any street or alley is re-paved, one-half
the expense shall be levied on the property binding thereon,
and one-half the expense shall be paid by the city, except that
the city shall pay all the costs of re-paving the area within
any intersection.

(c) In estimating the number of front feet upon such
street, alley, gutter, or sidewalk to be improved, in all cases
when a portion of such front feet shall be occupied by a rail-
road track or its slopes, the number of front feet so occupied
shall not be included in said estimate, nor shall said railroad
be assessed with any part of the costs of such improvement,
unless such property of said railroad shall be used, or be
capable of being used, for other purposes than a track, in
which case said property shall be estimated and judged in
the same manner as the property of other parties bordering
on said streets, alleys, gutters or sidewalks.
