THE PAVING Law.

City Attorney Thuenen has received
q copy Of the new paving law, as
adopted by the last legislature, and is
figuring out the status of things bear
ing on public improvements here this
year. 1t is probable that the ordinance
and paving committees and the city at
torney will have something prepared
for report to the council at its next
meeting.
The main features OF the new law
are as follows:
Special assessments shall not be in
excess OF the benefits derived by the
property.
Assessments shall not exceed % per
cent Of the actual value OF the property,
as shown by the last assessment list.
Where the cost exceeds % per cent
of the value OF the abutting property
the difference shall be paid out OF the
general fund.
Upon appeal. the courts shall deter
mine all questions. including that OF
benefits. s5 ss
8 There seems to be big. aching void
in. the law due to the fact that It does
not expressly stipulate who shall deter
mine the benefits derived by the prop
Serty abutting on the streets that 1t Is
proposed stospave. It will be the task OF
the ordinance committee and city at
torney to solve this problem by the in-
PRODUCTION of an ordinance conforming
with the law. Some method will be
provided for determining benefits. and
the problem seems to be simply the
choice of the best method, as the de-
Termination Of whatever commission II
appointed may be appealed from TO The
courts. IS
One thing 10 practically certain, and
that 10 that the new Law. practically
limits paving operations to districts
where practically MI the property car
10y Tor III share without the assess.

SMALLPOX ABATING AT FRASER
TBoone Republican,

Boone RepObltcan.J
w. H. Watson, OF Fraser, states that
the health conditions at that town
we're never better than at the present
time. He says the smallpox troubles
are at an end, altho three cases in the
city and two outside the town are still
under quarantine because of the time
limit. 1t has been just four weeks since
the rigid quarantine was established.
Only two new cases have developed
since that time and they are out of
danger. All the houses in which there
have been cases Of smallpox have been
fumigated thoroughly as fast as the
quarantine was raised. The health Of
ficials have put forth an energetic eff
fort to stamp out the plague and the
results have been most satisfactory, In
deed. The town has been placed in a
thorough sanitary condition. Mr. Wat
son. who is one Of the officials ap-
pointed to enforce the quarantine. says
there is, in the opinion OF the health
officers, no@longer any danger to be
feared from the smallpox. Its spread
has been absolutely checked and there
10 no reason why any one should feel
any further alarm. Business there Is
moving along In the usual channels and
health conditions are excellent.
