The suit of Edwin III Lyon vs. David

was decided by Judge Daboll on Thurs
day of last week. A full report of the
decision is gwen below:
The title of the act in question is;

tons III Maple river, to straighten and
deepen the channel thereof, and to an

his one. The title in that act was:
IAN Act to provide for the stralghten-
ing or otherwise deepening the channel

1t was provided in the body of that
act that the people of certain townships
might vote to raise money to pay por-
ton of the expenses and the state was

that the title is almost identical with

Tie act authorizes the payment of
costs and expenses of this lmproy ement
over and above the grant of swamp
lands and the power Of taxation has
been exercised, and lcvies made under
1t. To raise some sixteen or seventeen
Thousand dollars. 1t comes clearly
within the previous ruling of this
Court of similar acts.
1t is streruously insisted by the
counsel for respondent that this act is
not work of internal improvement,
but an exercise of the police power of
the state TO protect the health of the
pnhlic, and evade II public nuisance
arising from the overflow OF many
acres IF low lands by the Maple river.
IN the townships specified IN the acts
which overflow Ia The source and cause
OF many dangerous diseases in said
townships. Without discussing the
power of the state under its police au-
thority, TO enter upon II work Of this
kind il Is sufficient answer to this ar
gumeut that the title IF he act express
ses uo such object, but mentions only
the improvement of the channel OF The
Maple river - its purpose. aud the
body of the act looks more To the "ie-
claiming Of the submerged lands, =
and the opening, deepening aud wedcn-
lng OF the river than to any other OBJ
ject
True, it speak of "improv,pS the
sanitary condition of the adjacent
lands" But this is merely an in:iden.
tai allusion.
This act is open to the same obiec-
ton it provides, section g, Each coun-
ty drain commissioner shall thcreupon
assess, within his own jurisdiction,
such amounts as have been determined
against the several townships effected
by SAID improvements in such per cent.
AS may be Justly charged against them
severally by reason of the benefits of
public health, convenience or welfare,
and the balance he shall apportion
against the land IN proportion as they
will be benefited thereby.
The Court in the case just cited fur
Their says: "The lands are not assessed
for taxation because of benefits to
public health. but the taxes are assessed
upon and paid "Dy the lands, ease.
ments, and property benefited thereby
(reierring to the construction of the
improvements), and by any township,
city or village, 10y reason of the benefit
of the public health, aud as a means of
improving a public highway"
The petitioner, for instance, under
this act is taxed upon her lands for the
benefit Of the Improvement of them,
and for the benefit of the public health
aud the highways. she pays also her
proportion of the township tax. Her
lands are assessed for work of inter-
nal improveme. I as well as for the
benefit of the public health.
The manifest purpose of the act is
apparent. 1t S scheme to improve
the low lands of the Maple river, and to
straighten and deepen the channel of
the river. 1t is a work of internal i'm
provement in It's title, and its apparent
object and in it's real intents; and the
taxing power of the state is being used.
