Judge Merrick has overruled the de
murrer filed by the attorneys for the
town of Hyattsvile to the bill entered by
several property owners to enjoin the
town authorities from collecting assess
ments for sidewalks laid on both sides
of johnson avenue, declaring unconsti-
tutional the act of the Legislature of 1906
under which the walks were laid. The
authorities will take the case to the Court
of Appeals, The work cost in the neigh
borhood of 81 800, and unless the Court
of Appeals reverses Judge Merrick's de-
cision the town will have to pay it. This
will neeessitate, it is thought an increase
in the tax rate. The act of 1906 under
which the work was done purported to
authorize the Mayor and Common Coun-
Gil to lay sidewalks and charge the Adult
ing property owners for the entire cost.
