means practically all of the membership

Representatives of the wrapping paper

combine, because the agents of the con-

exclusion of others. 1t looks like "dog

One great advantage of friendship
is its tendency to make person like

Moralists say that the emotion OF

/ The unconstitutionality of a statute
or of proceedings under a statute need not
be pleaded with any greater def1niteneSs
or certainty than other issues and the de-
Termination of whether a material con-
stitutional question is presented is to be
made by constituting the pleadings accord
ing to the usual methods.
e The fundamental fact upon which the
validity of special assessments rests is an
increment of benefit to the property taxed
resulting from the Improvement, and the
property owner must, at some stage of
the proceedings. have notice and oppor-
tunity to be heard, or the equivalent of
such notice and opportunity. before a spe-
cial assessment can become a valid charge
against him.
s. The legislature may lawfully pre-
scribe the rule by which the benefits ac-
cruing to real estate from local improve
ment shall be apportioned. Should it do
so the theory of the law is that the prop
erty owner has been given the equivalent
of notice and a hearing upon that subject
by representation in the legislature.
4. When one or more essential features
of special assessment proceeding are
