In the circuit court at Salem on Fri
day, decision was rendered by Judge
Burnett in the suit brought by John Q.
Wilson and other property owners on
Chemeketa street, against the city of
Salem and H. P. Mimic, as city mar
shaT to enjoin the marshal from sell
ing their property to pay for the re-
cent street Improvement. The cause
came on for hearing on the plaintiffs
demurrer to defendants answer, and
the court, after taking the matter un-
der advisement, sustained the demur-
rer and gave judgment for a perpet-
ual injunction against the city. The
attorneys for the city asked for and
were granted twenty days in which to
prepare papers for an appeal to the
supreme court, if they desired to do so.
The demurrer which was sustained
yesterday was that the answer did
not state facts sufficient to constitute
defense-in other words that no no.
tice was ever given to the property
owners, as required by law, for the
taxation of their property for the i'm
provement of the street BY this de-
cision the marshal is enjoined from
selling the property. The city could
not sell their property for purposes Of
street improvement without due pro-
cess of law. The South Commercial
street case stands over by stipulation
of the parties until final disposition is
made Of the Chemeketa street case.
