streets must be paved and that next
spring. Mayor O'Hare says that If he &C
composites nothing else during the re-
pmainder Of this term he will see that the
streets are paved. Real estate men and
men who have advocated light taxes be-
cause they are property owners, have
found that their property remains at a
standstill while other cities Of similar size
and activity are having real estate booms.
These men realize that it is bad streets
which they can blame for the stagnation.
They stand ready to back the mayor in
his campaign. The principal business
street, Tower avenue, will be repaved with
cedar and the side streets are, to have a
center roadway of some kind of macadam.
The curbs will be narrowed to cut down
expense. In this kind of work 1t is the
plan of the mayor to have thousands of
| dollars spent next year. The bids will be
| called for this winter and contracts let,
permits in the spring. :, ~ ;
The school board has decided to make
| another effort to get construction of the
| law that will enable the city treasurer to
turn over to the school board directly the
amount Of city school tax levied by the
county each year. This tax, which
amounts to $4,000 this year, is a bone
of contention The city treasurer has been
turning it over to the county treasure,
for him to give to the schools when he
sees fit. The result has been that some
years the money came to the board very
much delayed A suit two years ago failed

PAVING ASSESSMENTS

MarshaIltown Street Railway Company
~ Resists Collection and Appeals.
MARsHALLTOWN, IOWA-The Mar
shalltown Light Power and Railway COM
pany will fight the assessment made
against 1T for paving between its tracks,
having given notice that it will appeal to
the district court and filed the necessary
bond. The company holds that the ordi-
nance which granted it a franchise is a
contract between the city and the street
railway, and that a clause in that ordi-
nance states that the company shall be
relieved from all assessments for paving
the streets along the line of it's tracks.
The city will admit the existence Of the
clause as noted, but will contend that it
is invalid, and has been invalid ever since
it was made part Of the ordinance. It
is held that the city council which granted
the franchise went beyond it's authority
in passing the ordinance. Several owners
of property abutting on the newly paved
streets may also appeal.
