the cost OF local improvements, such as the
building OF streets, sewers, roads, bitches,
Ievees and the like, TO be charged upon tho
AUDITING and adjoining property in proportion
to the benefits received by such property. HI
first decision declaring such laws unconstitu-
tional was in the case of Taylor VS.. Chandler,

1895 to lay OFF and establish that part OF Reel
foot Lake basin and OverfOwed land into levee

thereof upon the reclaimed property, was de-
clared unconstitutional at the last term of tho

In the new constitution of New York, pro-
in 1894, as we'll as in other new consti-
tutIons, all public officials are forbidden to use
free railroad, telegraph or telephone passes, the
experience of the people in various States show
ing concluslvely that such free passes have a
eorrupting influence upon legislation and due
of the law. We believe such
should find place in our constitution.
