FIGHT The SEWER.
sixth Ward People Dissatisfied With
Assessment Hire a Lawyer.

Property owners living in the Sixth
word are Directing to the assessor ent
which has been levied against them
for the construction of the Sixth ward
sewer. They claim that the assess
ment is entirely too high and that the
appraisement upon which the assess
ments are based is faulty in several
instances. They have retained Judge
z. T. Hazen to represent them and
viii air their grievance in the district
court in a suit which will be brought
against the city to set aside the as
sessment Petitions have been cir
culating about in the Sixth ward for
the past week demonstrating against
the work of the appraisers and asking
that the city council take some re-
visionary action. The petitions were
to have been presented to the meeting
of the council Monday evening and
the interested property owners were
to have attended the council meeting
in a body but the plans miscarried
and the only objection which was
raised on the part of a property own
er at that time was that OF Eugene
Ware, who stated that he was already
connected on to the Potwin sewer and
did not think that he should be COM
PEELED to pay for the cost of the con-
StructiOn of the new sewer though he
was in the district which is liable for
the cost of the construction of the
new sewer. The objection of Mr..
Ware was referred to the council
committee on sewers where a con-
sideration of the matter will be
granted.
A protest similar to that Of Mr.
Wares is now being raised by Christ
hospital which owns a tract of four
blocks almost in the heart of the
ward. Christ hospital is connected
through the means of a private sewer
with a sewer of the city's near Lin
coin street and Eighth avenue. The
officers Of the hospital association
state that they were put to consider
able expense in constructing the pri-
vate sewer and that it fully meets
their requirements and that to tax
them with several thousand dollars
for the construction of the ward sew
er for which they have no need is I'M
just. Tt is hardly probab Bile that the
two latter objections viii he consid-
cred good by the city council. Similar
objections have been filed with the
council in past years and they have
never been held sufficient to absolve
the parties from their just proportion
of taxes
