After having carefully viewed and examined the entire territory and the said several parcels of land or real estate affected by said improvement, and having first viewed, examined and considered severally and separately each parcel of real estate in said territory, the City Forester has found and determined and does hereby so find and determine that the City of Madison should pay the sum of $12,251.64 as the cost properly chargeable to the City and covered by said improvement.
