JUDGE Greene has decided the dyk-
ing law of this Territory to be uncon-
stitutional, on the ground that it at
tempts to authorize the appropriation
of private property for private im-
provements, and undertakes to dis
tribute the cost of improvements i'll
proportion to the benefits instead Of
according to value. The improve
ments contemplated by the law bear
no reference whatever to public ne
cessity, utility OF convenience, and
are therefore void. The Supreme
Court of the Territory has decided
that the value of property taxed for
improvements is to be solely consld-
cred in fixing the ratio of cost of
such improvements.
