An Indiana Decision.

Sioux City, May IA decision which
is reported, regarding the constitutions
ality of the paving assessment law OF
Indiana, after which the Iowa law was
copied. will probably change the entire
aspect of the litigation iii Sioux City
concerning the validity of special im-
Drovement bonds issued under the old
law which was but recently amended by
act of the legislature. The Indiana SUI
preme court has held In a case Originate
ing in Sheibyyille, that the statute Of
that state providing for the front foot
assessment is, after all, valid.
Following a decision by n circuit judge
at Ottumwa that the Iowa law, a fac
smile Of the Indiana Law, was tlncon-
stitutional. the greatest uncertainty as
to the value of the assessment certiti-
Gates in Iowa prevailed Paving turnout
the state came to a standstill. 1t was ex-
Spected the supreme court of the state
would affirm the decision of the Ottum-
wa judge. 1t seems likely now that the
Iowa supreme court VIII hold with the
Indiana courts that the law is good
Otherwise an enormous amount of liti-
CATION and loss would be entailed.
When Chester y. Masslich. who rep
sers, of Chicago. was in the city lie
called the attention of several city OFF,
jcials and ex-otlicials to the decision or
the Indiana court and said that he at
tached the greatest Importance to 1t.
He said that bond dealers turnout the.
country had beer afraid snce the OF
tumwa decision that the securities is
sued ard which were held by them OF
had been placed by them would be
found to rest on exceedingly Insecure
foundation. Every decision bearing on
the situation in the state was carefully
watched and great anxiety was felt.
The decision of the Indiana court had
changed all this and almost entire re-
lance WAS placed on the expectation
that the Iowa supreme court would
hold with the Indiana court.
The point in question and which
Judge Baker. sitting in the federal
court at Indianapolis, had declared he
would not pass upon until the supreme
court OF the state had interpreted a
clause in the statute referring to Ii
was whether in the front foot manner
of assessment the board of review had
discretionary power to assess according
to the benefits IL the other method Was
shown to be obviously unjust In some
particular case. The supreme court has
pow interpreted the law as meaning
that this discretionary power was nee
essariy vested In board empowered
to listen to complaints. as otherwise the
hearing of the complaints would be al
most a farce This establishes III,
meaning OF the Indiana statute and
Judge Baker ruled on the case accord
lingly.
