particulars.

8026. The street superintendent shall also cause a notice similar
in substance to be published for six days in a daily newspaper
published and circulated in the city, and designated by the city
council for that purpose, or in cities in which there is no daily

insertions in a weekly newspaper so published, circulated and
designated. If there is no daily or weekly newspaper published in the
