Delta's Frontage Tax
Declared Illegal

The city OF Delta two years ago
adopted a plan for the raising OF
revenue for its expenses by levy
ing a frontage tax OF s. 90 per lot
on all lots fronting on the water
main. The idea the town had was
that properly values had been
raised by the construction of
water lines 10 tront or lots and
therefore the CITY was entitled TO
collect a tax.
From the very start the validity
5tthc frontage tax was questioned
by some of our local attorneys
and as a few of the lot owners last
year refused to pay the levy. tnis
year about third OF the prop
crty owners refuse to pay the tax.
In order to test the validity OF
the ordinance empowering the
city TO collect the tax. the city
brought suit a ainst +. L Lamb
as he was largely interested in
city lots. The case came up for
hearing before Judge Shackelford
on November llth. Attorney
Diekerson appearing for the city
Attorney Fairlamb tor the de-
tendent. T L, Lamb.
The court held that the city was
not entitled to levy such a tax for
tn. reason that there was no law
in existence authorizing such
tax. and 1t was contrary TO the
constitution 10 levy tax accord
ing to the frontage instead OF up
on the valuation. Mr.. Lambs
purpose in resisting this tax was
because of unjust discrimination
agains, property owners, in that
lot in the center OF the city which
was highly improved only paid
the same tax as a vacant or resi-
dent lot on the outskirts of the
city. worth prehaps one two hun
dredth part less; that it was un-
fair and unjust. He made the
fight as a matter of principle
rather than the amount involved.
Several of our citizens assisted
MIR Lamb in making this a test
case.
The city attorney said that he
would leave it to the council as to
whether or not the case would be
taken up to the supreme court.
In the two years the frontage
tax ordinance has been in exist
ence the city has collected about
81, 600 as frontage tax, and If
the ordinance is illegal. it will be
nothing but justice that the city
return II is $1,000 to the property
owners who paid it.
The failure OF the city TO col
lect a frontage tax will requires
higher tax levy hereafter to meet
the running expenses of the
municipal government. - Delta
