rRorERrr-HoLDEES on THEIR EAR.
The owners of property lying ON Elm
I street east OF Ervay have waXed exceed
ing wroti, and the cause OF their indigna-
/ ton Is rs follows: Elm street has lately
Z been paved with bots dare blocks, and
/ the city engineer in making the calcula-
TONS as to how much each one of the
propcriy-ownerS should pay therefor,
simply took the aggregate cost of the
WORK, divided by the number OF feet OF
property fronting thereon and pro rated
it out among the several owners
of the property. Now, west of Eryay
street Elm Is eighty feet wide, while east
OF that point il Is sixty, and those whose
property fronts ON but sixty feet of the
pavement object to paying as much as
their ncighborS who enjoy eighty feet of
the same blessing. Theywill sue out a
writ OF Injunction to restrain the city as
SCISSOR and collector from collecting taxes,
and the more emphatic ones declare that
they will tight the matter through all the
courts rather than submit to the outrage
as they are pleased o call it.
Another point of contention connected
with the matter grows out of the fact
that the present city charter provides that
the city shall pay Tor all the paving at
street intersections, and shall also nav
one-third of all other paving. But the
whole of this bill, street crossings and
all, has been charged to the property
holders, and il is probable that il was
done correctly, as the contract was made
before the present charter was enacted
The first grievance of the kickcrs will
likely he settled by the city paying for
the extra twenty feet east of Eryay, hut
it looks like the kickers would he downcd
on the latter ground of complaint.
