SEWER ASSESSMENT CASES.
Tine four cases brought by the city OF
Ellsworth for the collection OF special
sewer assessments were assigned Tor

which the sewers were built and the
assessment levied had not been fnl'y
complied with in that the set had not
been officially accepted by the city. The
last clause OF the act reads as follows:
This act shall not apply to any city or town
until Il shall have been accepted by the inhalB
hants of such town or the city council OF such
city at meeting legally called therefor.
Mr.. Stuart, council for tue city, ad-
mitted thHt the records OF the city do not
show thst this bad bes n done. II should
have been done when the sewer plan was
orig iually msot, or In 1893, when the
sewer in question Was built.
The case OF the came Kind against A.
