judgment in levying an assessment for
any particular local Improvement, and.
until something appears in the record
itself which amounts to and demonstrates
mistake of fact and of an affirmative
nature, by way of evidence to the con-
trary, the action of the board is final and
conclusive, except in case of fraud or
when it appears that an illegal principle
or erroneous rule of law has been APP
piled.
g. 1t was admitted at the trial that
the street railway company occupied the
street with single track for dis
lance of about 300 feet, and that no de-
duction on the assessment had been made
on account thereof. Held, that to make
sential for the directors to show that
the company. when obtaining the right
to use the street, had agreed to pave
that part over which it actually ran its
cars.
l. Under the guise of paying the cost
of constructing a pavement municipal
corporation cannot collect fund in ad-
vance, to be used at some indefinite time,
for the repair and maintenance of such
pavement
5. The contract in question for paving
the street and keeping it in repair, exam
ined and the agreement to repair con-
strued to be nothing more than a guar
anty of the quality of the workmanship
and material, and not a general obliga-
ton to make repairs irrespective of the
causes making repairs necessary.
6. Unless restrained by the charter I'M
der which the power to impose spec al
assessments upon property specially ben
Gifted thereby is conferred up mu-
nicipaI corporation that power is not eX-
hausted whenever the assessment is
made. 1t is a continuing power and
whenever its exercise becomes neces-
sary by reason of the destruction or In
utility of the original Improvement, 1t
may again be eXerted. This rule is ap-
plicable to the city of st. Paul which is
empowered by it's charter and without
limitation to make assessments upon spe-
cially benefited property for the cost of
paving any street, levee, alley or high
way
7. The fact that the charter of one or
more cities in this state expressly grants
authority to repair as well as to
pave cannot be accepted as conclusive
proof that the legislature intended to alb
rogate the general rule, as above stated
in cities where the charters are a1lent on
tn subject of paving.

RESUME RATE HEARING
RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS TAKE
UP THE MATTER AGAIN
TODAY
FINISH AT THIS SESSION
Gen. ChiIds Has Completed InvestI-
cation of N. r. COnsOIida-
ton, and Will Soon
Report.

The rate investigation before the rail-
road commission which was commenced
last January, will be continued today af-
ter an adjournment. of two weeks. The
matters to be considered are those out
lined in a notification sent by the COM
mission to all the roads in the state, and
particular interest centers in the hear
ing on merchandise tariffs of rates.
The merchandise rate question was
brought up some time ago and some tes-
timony taken. Upon an adjournment Of
that hearing until another date the case
was left unfinished. At the adjourned
sessions the railroads professed to have
lacked notification, and We're not repre-
sented For this reason a note stating
the date Of hearing today was sent, and
the communication considered at a ses-
sion of traffic and legal department Of
ficials held later
In addition to the merchandise rates,
complaint against freight classifcations
will be heard. The commission will carry
the hearing through to the end, without
another adjournment, in order to facili-
tate the disposition of the business yet
to come in connection with the inquiry
into the reasonableness of Minnesota
rates.
The adjustment of the grain rate case,
Which occupied many weeks before the
commissioners, resulted in the saving
Of many thousands of dollars to the
farmers of the state and to others deal
ing in grain. The merchandise inquiry
Is directed to the same end, and will
bring forth facts which will show whether
OF not the different roads in the state
are getting the best of it.

CEDAR STREET PAVING CASE.
Supreme Court Holds That Owners
Must Pay for 1t.

Property owners must pay for repaving,
the same as for the original; and the
innings OF the board of public works are
nn3l, except where fraud is proven
rms IS the substance of the supreme
courts finding in the Cedar street repav
ing case in a decision handed down bv
Judge Collins yesterday.
The case was first taken into the district
court by Johanna n. Wheeler and other
oWnerS or Cedar street property, who re-
sisted payment of the TepaVing assess
neni on the ground that the cost was
excessive, and that the method of MAX
ing the assessment was wrong; that
certain property had not been assessed,
and that il was wrong to assess the
properly owners for the paving of cross
streets The district court decided in
FAVOR OF the city, and is sustained by
the supreme court, which remands the
case to the lower court to enter tudg-
ment against the property owners
The syllabus says:
/ In proceeding instituted under the
charter of the city of st. Paul to obtain
judgment Tor the amount of a reaSSeSS-
meht on account of paving a street, the
court found from the evidence that IT
was the finding and judgment of the
board of public works, which board
makes the assessment in the first in
stance, that the real property abutting
upon that part Of the street which was
70 be paved was specially benefited at
least TO the extent of the entire cost and
that such benefit was wholly confined To
said property, that is each lot was uni
Iormly and equally benefited per front
-i"Gl On this finding or judgment said
board assessed the cost of the improve
ment upon the abutting property mi.
formly and at the same amount for each
loot of lot frontage. 1t is not contended
that this finding is unsupported by the
evidence In view of the finding and iudg
Inent and the rule established in a num-
Der of cases in this court as to the
con Of the same, it is held
that the claim Of counsel that the assess
ment was made arbitrarily upon front
foot basis and without regard to benefits
is without foundation, and, it is held
further, that the conclusive character Of
TINS finding and judgment is not affected
or overturned by the mere fact that in
making the assessment the board ignored
the fact that the improvement did not in
Guide the paving of street intersections
on the south half of the same, but did
include such cost as to all intersectione
on the north half, or. in other words nv
the mere fact that the intersections first
mentioned We're for some unexplained
reason, not paved under this contract,
while those last mentioned were paved
