SUIT FILED
Against the City and County Audi
tor Over Third Street Paving
Assessments,
Assessments.

An injunction suit was filed in Com
mon Pleas Court Saturday entitled
William Hoppman against the City of
Marietta and Wilmer A. Patterson,
Auditor of Washington county.
The petition states that the plaintiff
is and has been since 1885, owner of a
half lot on the westerly side of Third
street, above Wooster street, in this
city, said lot having frontage of 45
feet. During 1885, plaintiff built a
substantial residence on the lot and
before building obtained from the City
Civil Engineer an official statement as
to the sidewalk grade. The residence
was built in conformity with the es-
window sills in the basement were
fourteen inches above said grade. He
further states that the lot was well
drained toward the sidewalk.
Plaintiff says that on August 01S95,
the City Council passed a resolution to
improve Third street by paving ac-
cordng to plans and specifications pre-
pared. The work was done and the
plaintiff says that at regular meet
ing of the City Council he protested
against the new grade established,
which was fourteen inches above the
former sidewalk grade. 1t is stated in
the petition that the City Council
agreed to correct this error and that
a motion was carried changing the
grade and establishing it inches be-
low the sidewalk.
This agreement, the plaintiff claims
the City Council refused to comply
with and the paving was laid fourteen
inches above his sidewalk, thereby
damaging his property to an extent
greater than thousand dollars.
The resolution for improving said
street states that the cost of the work
less one-fiftieth, should be assessed
upon the abutting property at so much
per front foot, to be paid in twenty an
nual installments. The plaintiff 5
share of the amount was fixed at
$12727, and he states that under pro-
test he has paid 1854, or two install
ments.
Further he states that there has
been certified to the County Auditor
the sum of s21.49 as delinquent assess
ments and that unless restrained by
an order of the court the Auditor will
place said amount upon the tax dupli-
cate for collection by the Treasurer.
He therefore claims the assessments
to be illegal and asks that the Auditor
De temporarily enjoined from placing
said amount upon the duplicate for col
lection and that upon the final hearing
of the case the injunction be made per-
petual: and that the City be adjudged
to refund said illegal assessments paid
and for such further relief as equity
and good conscience requires.
The plaintiff is represented by At
yorney r. K. Shaw.

Looked in the Refrigerator.

Mr.. ]. e. Franz, the steward at the
Norwood, had an experience yesterday
which he does not care to repeat for
for some time. He had occasion to en-
ter the large ice box, and while engag-
ed in storing some articles in the box
some one came along and seeing the
door standing open, closed and locked
it. 1t was nearly three-quarters OF an
hour before Mr.. Franz could make
himself heard and be freed from his
chilly position.
He says it was about an hour before
he could restore the normal tempera-
ture OF his body, and then 1t seemed as
though he had just returned from an
extended trip through the Klondike.
1t Is safe to wager that he will not be
caught mapping in the refrigerator
again.
