cost over $4,000, will have to wait for
his money until either new law is
passed by the legislature next year or
the whole legal proceedings of the as

ent form. The suit which was brought
by Thomas Whitaker. ct al, have
property owners. and prosecuted by
Attorney S. G. Policy, has been be-
fore the court at intervals for the past
several months and involved several
temporary injunctions. Judge Rice
decided that the assessment was illegal
because the city engineer in computing

the lots abutting on the streets paved

would bring the cost per foot for each

ney Mason the city at once gave notice
that new assessment would be made
and another effort made to have the
