The homeowners,most of whom live along Radatz avenue, claim they are being charged excessive- ly for improvements to Beam Av- enue at the rear of their lots.The improvements do not benefit their property 'and if forced to pay them, they will have to sell their homes,the suits say. Six homeowners with 100-foot wide lots have been assessed nearly $15,500 each for the street improvement projects. Several others with larger parcels of prop- erty have been assessed higher amounts, the largest being about $99,150. LeRoy Peters,1845 Radatz Ave., one of the homeowners,said today the property owners do not benefit from the Beam Avenue improve- ment because they have no access to it from their property.
