Is ORDINANCE VALID?
Question Raised Whether Water Tax
Is Lien on Property or Simply
q Claim

An attack on the validity. of the city
ordinance relating to payment of water
taxes in Salt Lake City is embraced in
petition for an alternative writ of man
date directed against Frank L. Hines,
superintendent of WaterWorks, and Salt
Lake City. The petition was yesterday
filed by the Beesley Music company
through its attorneys, Cannon, Irvine and
snow The writ was issued by Judge NJ.
l. Richie and made returnable at 10
o clock Friday.
The petition alleges that the company
occupies the second floor of the building
at A and 40 South Main street and has
paid its assessment of $3.50 for the year
from July l, 1905 TO June 80, 1906 but that
the city refuses TO turn on the water
The facts in the case are stated to he
that former tenants of the building re-
fused TO pay their water tax and the
superintendent of WaterWO rks, in obed-
fence to section So revised ordinances,
turned off the water. This section pro-
vides that Before the water shall be
turned on again, all delinquent water
rates must be paid in full up TO the end
of the term as assessed and 80 cents
additional for expenses" This is con-
strued TO mean that water assessments
shall be held to be a lien against the
property instead of a claim against the
water consumer and ii is with a view
to determine whether this provision is i'm
accord with the stale laws that the ac-
ton is brought.
