STREET GRADE ASSESSMENTS.

The decision OF the superior court, by
which the second attempt at assessment
for grading South Twelfth street is de-
clared invalid Is important. but Is by no
means a fatal blow at the city's interests.
Whenever q street grade assessment Is de-
ciared absolutely and finally illegal il be-
comes n general misfortune. as the cost
must fall upon the taxpayers unless the
warrants issued upon the local improve
ment fund are repndiated. Ii is very I'M
fortunate that the city has had in the past
officials who were either incompetent or
negligent: aud no less unfortunate that
warrants were issued before there was
money in the respective funds to meet
them. But the misfortune is not so ex-
sreme that IL cannot be remedied in part
The circumstances attending the grad
ing of South Twelfth street are excep-
tionsi, and the city will probably yet re-
cover much OF the money due If il will
levy an assessment only on the property
benefited. The legal process by which
this may be accomplished is not clear, but
where fundamental principles are adhered
10 court Of equity may. il is to be hoped,
see way to do substantial justice, not
withstanding the inadequscy of statutory
law.
The question of the elty's power TO re-
assess under the state law is as vet left
open. but IL the law is found imperative
as 10 streets graded and assessed under the
old law. there IL still left the hope that
an abortive attempt to reassess shall not
he considered by the courts TO have ex.
haustcd the city's unquestioned power to
make u successful assessment, provided
the conditions precedent have been sub.
siantssliy observed.
The decision. therefore, does not afford
any encouragement to delinquents who
seek to eYade the payment OF a fairly lust
assessment because of some technical IN
formaiity in the proceedings. although i,
undoubtedly has the effect Of warning the
city officials that grave responsibility
rests upon them 90 strictly observe the re.
quirements Of the law.

SEATTLE. FRIDAY. JIx. ~.


The duty of registering promptly cannot
too often OF too strongly be urged upon the
voters OF Seattle The Office of the city
clerk is daily crowded with applicants for
registration. tn certain that this crowd
will Increase day by day as the time set
for the close of registration draws near.
and it 10 probable that many who then
apply for registration will fail for lack OF
time TO have their names placed on the
hooks. Others will doubtless turn away
discouraged at the prospect Of long wait
ing In line until they can reach the books.
The only way TO he sure of registration IL
to register now, before the real rush be-
gins.
At the Office of registration no less than
at the polls is the battle for honesty and
good municipal government to be fought.
A citizen. however high his ideas or good
his intentions. Is OF little use on election
day unless his name is on the registration
books. Ii Is votes and not theories which
determine the result, of an election, and
citizen who does not take the trouble to
qualify himself 10 vote should not COM
plain II he conceives the result of the cleo
ton TO be detrimental TO his interests and
the interests OF the city.
Every good citizen should register with
out DELAY
