APPEALS FROM REVISION OF SPECIAL ASSESS
MENTS.
In response to an inquiry from the District
commissioners, Attorney Riddle states that
there Is nothing in any existing law in force in
thlS District TO prevent any property holder
from appealing from the revision of any special
asSesSmentSto the Supreme Court of the Dis
trlct. The courts are open to any and every
person who deems himself injured by any ac-
tlon OF the District Commissioners In this class
OF cases. While aggreved parties should have
the 1reest access to the Courts. they should
have no special legislation, but have their
claims adJudicated on their merits and under
the general rules Of the Courts.
