NORTH DAKOTA FRONTAGE TAX
CASE IDENTICAL WITH
ST. PAULSS
PAvEs WAY FOR REHEARING
Legal Department Sees Way to CIR
cumvent Decision of Supreme
Court Which Was Handed
Down Recently.

The action of the United States court
in Unfolding the constituticnaIity of the
North Dakota law relating to assessment
Tor improvements by municipalities is
looked upon as a victory by the legal
department of the city, who see in 1t a
way to circumvent the opinion that was
handed down by the supreme court some
time ago practically deciding the water
frontage tax unconstitutional.
When the opinion was rendered the
corporation attorney requested rehear-
ing, but asked postponement until the
North Dakota case, which was identical
in features. was decided The decision,
coming as it does, prerares q way with
out any difficulty, and permits the hear
ing with the assurance that the city viii
win ultimately
If the decision made by the supreme
court was to hold, st. Paul would lose
thousands of dollars, while. titles would
be attacked in a manner that would ne
cessitate untold litigation.
The North Dakota case came upon a
contention that the assessments made
were not proportionate with the benefits
received, and the same applied to the
water frontage case, IN which the owner
attacked the legality OF the law on the
ground that the assessment was for more
than the benefits were worth.
