CITY HALL GOSSIP.
The Sewer Assessment on Elton Street
DIR. Chaplin in Philadelphia.

The Sewer Assessment on Elton Street
DIR. Chaplin in Philadelphia.
Commissioner Smith was questioned
by News reporter this morning regard
ing the action of the board Of aldermen
yesterday In voting to postpone the col
lection OF sewer assessments against
property on Elton street, until the own
ers wish to connect with the sewer
or until the properly is sold.
The commissioner was emphatic in the
statement that no such agreement had
been entered into with the land owners
rs such an agreement would necessarily
be made by the commissioners OF public
works, since he Is the one who makes the
assessments. A committee OF the city
council would have no right to make
from the city council and through the
owners claim that such an agreement
was understood still 1t was not In the
deed when the land was made over
to the city for highway purposes
The trouble would come when a person
bought lot for house lot for he would
pay more for the lot on account Of its being
on severed street. Nevertheless he
would be Obliged TO pay the full assess
ment as the record OF the deed
as at present made and does not
show the popularity OF the situation.
1t is highly probably that the common
council will refuse to concur when the
matter is male plain. The aldermea
were not prepared % vote against the
measure yesterday and the mattef went
through withouj much opposition.
