Validity of Assessments for Street Improve
ments.

Validity of Assessments for Street Improves
ments.
Before Judge Cardozo.
In tho matter OF Addison Smith application was
made to have set aside an assessment for paving
Third avenue between 10th and l30th streets. The
application assumed phase OF special Importance,
as likely to test the question OF the legality Of
sessments for street improvements. 1t was provided
under the charter OF 1851 that all ordinances invov-
ing an assessment should be published three days
In all the Corporation papers. Under a decision OF
the Court OF Appeals IN the Douglass case large
number OF assessments have already been set aside
on the ground that the ordinances authorizing the
improvements were not published In accordance
with the stpulati0ns OF the cnarter referred TO.
The present case comes up, however, under
the charter OF 1870, by winch only the
ordinance IS required TO be published, while 1t is
provided In one section that the Corporation papers
shall be designated by the Mayor and Comptroller.
IL appears that the latter Officias failed 10 desg
nate the Corporation papers ana that the advertise
ments did not appear In what had previously been
Corporation paper IL was urged for the applica
ton mat either under this law no assessment could
be passed until the Mayor or Comptroller has desg-
mated the Corporation papers, or that until they aid
so the papers previously named under the act OF
1858 were the Corporation papers, and the advertise
ment must appear In all OF them. On behalf of the
city 1t was insisted that the first view was clearly
wrong, as 1t would, by the mere failure
OF The Mayor and Comptroller to perform
q ministerial act, deprive the Corporation

Forty years ago Illinois was as ia,
West as most people wished to go, and
journeys were made in the legendary
"Prairie Schooner" but in these days
of Progress and Improvement, the word
West has come to mean Iowa, Kansas,
Colorado, California and the Territories,
and the Traveller reaches almost any
point therein by a splendid Line OF
Railroad
This Line of Railroad is the B1rlin g
ton Route, which starts from Chicago
over the Chicago, Burlington C Quincy
h. r., from Indianapolis over the In.
dianapolis, Bloomington g. Western
Short Line, and from Loe1nsport, over
the Toledo, Peoria d; Warsaw Il. r.,
and running through Burlington, reaches
Omaha, Lincoln, Nebraska City, St.
Joseph, Attchison, Lovenworth aud
Kansas City, connecting with the Union
Pacific, Kansas Pacific and other Rail
roads running from those cities.
Always 90 "l}y way Of Burlington"
and you will be sure to be right
The Burlington Route has admirable
answered the question; "How to go
West?" by the publication Of a truthful
and interesting document, filed with
facts in regard to Time, Connections,
Accommodations, rates of Fare, and
other interesting items. and illustrated
by a large map, truthIully showing the
