GRADE TAXES DISPUTED.
Objection to Payment OF an Assess
mi

Objection to Payment OF IN Assess
ment.
Judge Lichtenberg yesterday heard the suit of
Wallace w. Price against the city of Seattle for
grade taxes on demurrer. The suit 10 brought
by Price to declare null and void an assessment
for grading. Plaintiff is the owner of property
on the corner OF South Eleventh and Wei
Ter streets, described as lots and 7,
block 5, McNaught's addition. He .recitea
that on February 10, 1890, an ordinance was
passed by the city council for the grading of
Weller street, and his property was valued at
$3.50. subsequently the valuation was raised to
si,700 without his assent and without any oppor-
portunty being gwen for remonstrance, or an
attempt made at equalization. Ths plans were
changed, trestle, which was originally part
Of the plan, being abandoned after some money
had been spent on IL, and q new grade estab-
lshed. His assessment, at the rate OF 1881
mills, amounted to s63S, and he objects to the
whole proceedings irregular and unauthor-
ICED He declares that the first cost of SIS, 929
was afterward increased without due process TO
sSs977: and although he considers the assess
ment entirely invalid, IL constitutes lien aud
incumbrance on his property and cloud on
his title
Judge Jacobs, for the city, demurred on the
general statutory ground that the work having
been performed in good faith, the property
benefited, and the city having paid the money.
no informality in the procedure could be adj
mtted by tho court ss invslidating the as
sessment
Judge stratton quoted authorities to show
that the objections made were not to informai-
ties and irregularities contemplated by the law,
but were vital as depriving the plaintiff of one
OF his inalienable rights. He maintained that
this was not a case wherein certiorsri wss avail
able, as the city was taking no action to compel
payment.
Judge Lichtenberg overruled the demurrer,
but exception was taken and allowed.

INSPECTION OF MILK.
The Duwamish Dairy Company II In
Favor of 1t,

EaNOT VI
The petition of dairymen for the passage OF an
ordinance providing for the inspection of milk
and the suppression of trading in swill milk has
been made the ground for implication that the
Duwamish Dairy Company was engaged in that
business. Yesterday Mr.. John Russell was in
terviewed by q observation-disclosures reporter
with view to ascertaining the position of that
company on the proposed ordinance.
81 am not the manager of the Duwamish
dairy" said Mr.. Russell, "but Mr.. NJ r. Gallo
way, who is, is absent in Tacoma. may say,
however, that we do not object to the passage of
the ordinance. We would have signed the petit
ton and shall support the measure. II IL quite
untrue that we sell swill milk. We test the
milk sent in daily, and do not pay for any
which does not show 10 per cent OF cream. We
have three or four suppliers who sell Us milk
fed on malt and bran, because that yields
much larger percentage of cream, but we use
that solely for butter, and let hundreds of gal
Ions of the skinned milk run into the bay.
"There is no ground for the opposition Of any
of the farmers to the Duwsmish dairy, except to
support a rival company with which they are
associated. That is entirely q matter of compe-
tition. So far the public are concerned, we
have benefited them by giving regular supply
of food milk at moderate rates Last winter the
White River Milk Producers Association
charged n cents a gallon. We do not own cows.
but deliver milk sold to us by the farmers.
Hall & Galloway last March entered into an ar
rangement with as many farmers as were will
ing to form 9 company to supply milk at regular
prices. We reduced the selling price, but by one
handling and by organized delivery saved
the farmers from waste so that they could, at
the lower price, still get o fair profit The
stock is apportioned at one share for every ten
gallons q day sold. We also use any unsold
milk to make butter with, and with our fine
machinery are able to sell the best butter at
price that gives the farmer 10 cents gallon for
milk that might be wasted, or If made into but
ter at home would not yield him more than
cents
Anybody is welcome to go through our dairy,
which is a very extensive establishment Our
cash receipts are $4,000 month"
