PAVING CASE IS WON BY AUSTIN
Supreme Court UphoIds Right Of Git
les 10 Levy Pro Rata Assessment

Austin Texas, June PA
sweeping victory for progressive cit
! les of Texas was had yesterday in
! the supreme court when it sustained
the city of Austin in levying a pro
rata assessment against property for
street paving purposes. 1t was styled
City of Austin VS.. Joseph Male, and
: carries a Judgment for S1,163, re-
yersing the judgments of the trial
I judgment in favor of the city of
Austin. 1t finds that all things UNI
der the ordinance were done correct
! ly. the suit being aimed at the stat
utes. 1t was charged that such pro-
/ ceeding was not taxation, but in eX-
ercise of the right of eminent do
main, to which the court answers:
But this is in our opinion
radias misconception of the law
The court defines eminent domain
as taking specific property, not mon
ely, upon paying compensation, The
other takes money, the only compen-
sation being that it will be appropri-
tempt to take the lot or property,
but a mere levy to make the owner
pay a sum of money to defray costs
of improvements, and which is pro-
portioned to him upon principles the
justice of which can not be gain
said"
Therefore. it is not taking proper
ty under eminent domain.
Continuing, the opinion upholds
the validity of the statutes author
izing laws; the levy, reading as fol-
lows:
But it is also insisted that the
law which is claimed as authorizing
the procedure in this case is UNI
/ constitutional, in that it authorizes
the collection of the imposition be-
fore the work is done and before the
benefits have accrued. But we think
it not unusual TO levy taxes for work
to be performed. At each session of
the legislature taxes are authorized
to be levied necessary to meet the
expenses of the state government for
the next two years and appropria-
tons are made for the payment of
the money collected or services to
I, no
formed as it may arise. In no other
| way could the state government be
administered.
/ But it is also urged that the
J pleadings and evidence showed that
! the Judgment sought was for a tax
| and to fix a lien upon appellee's
property which added to the ordinary
taxes otherwise levied by appellant
( for the years 1906 and 1907, and
would subject the property of appel
/ lee for each of said years to d tax in
excess Of the constitutional limit,
But it has been expressly held by
this court that the constitutional
limit referred to does not embrace
these local special assessments.
Male. who is one of the largest
property owners in Austin, viii have
to pay his share of the paving ex-
pense, and cities generally are en-
abled to pave heir streets and com
pei abutting property owners to pay
their share.

About twelve miles from its mouth
the bed drops suddenly down a rocky
perpendicular cliff some 213 feet high,
hence there is waterfall of that great
height. At this spot delightful little
island, beautiful with vegetation, d.

the total width is about two miles and

forms a tremendous horseshoe here
and plunges into great chasm with
a deafening roar, while the arm on the
Argentine side spreads out in sort of
amphitheatre form and finishes with
ono grand leap little over 229 feet.
Below the island the two arms unite
and flow on into the Parana River.
