be benefited to greater extent than
the cost of the work in front of and
adjacent to it, to the center of the
street, for that would be manifest
absurdity; therefore, if any lot is as
sessed less than the cost of the paving
pertaining to it the difference between
the assessment and the cost must be
paid by the city, for it cannot be
tackled on to other property. 1t
would not be right or even reasonable
to 90 back and assess property 'front.'
ing on some other street, for that
property might be assessed again for
its own improvement and subsequent
boards of city commissioners might
make such assessments as would lead
to gross inequalities, for they would
not be bound toadopt the same theory
as that of their predecessors.
We regard it as fair and safe that
each street should pay for its own
pavement and we think that the city
should not be required to pay for any
part of the work in front of any lot.
We feel that there is one, and only
one, just and equitable method of
determining the amounts of the sew
eral assessments, and that is to tax to
each lot the cost Of paving to the
center of the street in front of it,
leaving the street and alley intersec-
lions to be paid for by the city out of
the general fund. The benefit each
lot derives from the improvement, as
defined by the statute, is the cost-no
more and no leSs-and that is the only
right way to assess it in a case, such
as this, presenting no irregularities in
shape or grade.

THE ASSESSMENT FOR PAVING.

In another place we give in COM
mon language synopsis of the statu-
tory method of fixing and collecting
the liens for street paving, but moth
ing is said therein concerning the
basis for determining the amount of
each assessment by the city commits
sioners. A great responsibility rests
upon these officials, for, with little
guidance other than that of common
sense, they must find fair and equit
able method of distributing the cost
of the improvement. If one man is
permitted to escape with less than his
proper share another man must pay
more: if the city is burdened with a
greater assessment than is rightful
that sum must be paid by the entire
body of taxpayers and other improve
mentS must be deferred until it is
made up, for the city gets no time on
it's portion of the expense.
The statute says that the commits
Sioners, after viewing the property
affected, shall assess the costs of the
paving in proportion to the benefits
derived therefrom, but not in excess
of such benefits; they shall report the
lots and tracts benefited or damaged
and the several amounts Of benefits
and damages; the word benefits" is
defined as meaning special benefits
peculiar to the property as assessed,
as distinguished from general benefits
to the city at large. 1t is manifestly
contemplated by the law that the owner
of each piece of real estate affected
by the paving shall be liable for the
amount of the benefit he derives from
the improvement and shall be allowed
the amount of the damage to the
property by reason of the work.
On Michigan street the lots are of
uniform depth and there is no fill or
excavation, or other alteration, suf-
ficient to constitute damage. Elm
mating the question of damages, as
may fairly be done, the problem is
one of benefits alone. If the benefits
derived by all the property affected
equal the total cost Of the work, that
is the amount to be distributed among
the owners; if the benefits are less
than the cost, then the city must pay
the difference. 1t will not be con-
tended that any piece of property will

ROOSEVELT CHILDREN
ATTEND PUBLIC SCHOOL


President Roosevelt openly resents
any attempt to pry into the private
affairs of his family, even if it is taken
for granted by many that their every
act is public property, now that they
reside i'm the executive mansion. He
does not pretend that modeSty Or
desire for exclusivenesS has impelled
him to take this course, but insists
that there is great chance that much
notoriety will have serious effect
on his young children who are just at
an impressionable age. He wants
them shielded as much as possible
from the inevitable. Mr.. Roosevelt
realizes that the doings of the white
house children are of more or less
public interest, but he says their
heads must not be turned by too much
attention.
When he was making his arrange
ments to come here as vice-president,
the plans included the placing of the
children in the public school. When
President Mckinley was assassinated
and the children along with their
father were placed in the most con-
spicuous position in the nation, it was
predicted that these plans would be
changed and that the children would
either be placed in private and ex-
elusive schools or that they would be
taught by a governess or tutor who
would live at the white house. 1t was
urged that the attendance of the
Roosevelt children in the public
schools would make them constantly
unprotected objects of crankS if the
not actual kidnapers.
President Roosevelt laughed at
these fears when after the children
had arrived and the question of their
education came up. Mrs. Roosevelt,
however. was not SO certain. Finally
it was arranged that the boys should
attend the public schools and that
Ethel should &C to the Cathedral
school in Woodley lane. This is an
institution under the supervision of
Bishop Satterlee of the episcopal do
ceSe. Ethel will board at the school
during the week, but she will return
to the white house to spend Saturday
and Sunday with her parents. Ker-
nit, who is sturdy little fellow with
many of his fathers traits and who
has an ample supply of self-reliance,
will attend the Preston school, and he
gave it out cold on the day that he
was registered there that if any of the
other boys tried to have fun with him
because he was the presidents son he
would make it hot for them. Archie
will attend the Force school. Here
he will have as classmates many of the
little sons and daughters of the mem
bers of the diplomatic corps who re-
side in the aristocratic neighborhOOC
il which the school is located.
Theodore, Jr., will continue to at.
tend the boarding school in Mas
sachusettS which he entered last
year. ana Miss Alice, the Oldest
daughter of the president, who is ex
pected to make her debut in society
this winter, will not attend school
