A WRONG ASSESSMENT
Judge Weaver Decides an Inn
6 portant Case Involving Spe-
cial Sewer Tax.
Assessment Under the Old Law
Held to be Unconstitu-
tional.
Decision Based on the Norwood
VS.. Baker Case in
Special 10 mes-Republican.

Special to Tines Republican
Fort Dodge, April 11.-Judge Weaver,
of the district court, handed down de-
cision yesterday which is of vital inter-
est not only to the property owners OF
this city, but of the state where sewers
are being constructed. The decision
SwasSmade in the case of the NJ. & st. l..
road vs.. Lindquist ct al, and George
McManon. There was no question raised
that the assessment for the sewer which
had been constructed was not being
made according to the provisions of the
Iowa law. The holding of Judge Wea-
yer is based upon the decision of the GU
preneg court in the case of Norwood VS..
Baker. AT the time the assessment was
made there was no authority under the
Iowa law for making an assessment ac-
cording to the benefits received. but the
twenty-eighth general assembly
changed the law so that all assessments
now made are regulated according To
the benefits resulting to the adjacent
property The ruling in the above case
is as follows: lit ist the opinion of Judge
Weaver that the law giving the city the
right and authority to make special as
sessments against adjacent property for
the cost of constructing storm sewers is
unconstitutional for the reason that the
|assessment is made without regard To
