council in behalf of S. Irebby. owner
of the east 43 feet lot /, block IT,,
original plat Of Little Falls, and asked
that the city instruct the county audi
tor to strike of the tax books the
S131. IS and $143.S assessed against
this property in the tax levies Of 1907
and 1909 respectively for street paving
in front Of this business property, on
the grounds that the tax is double for
the street paving assessment. The to-
tai amount of taxes levied against the
, above property was $500. 43 in 1909, at
which time it is claimed Mr.. Irebby
offered to pay the tax less the amount
assessed for street paving, which OF
course was refused. When the first
paving assessment was made on the
basis Of abuttlng property Mr.. Trebby
fought it and won in the supreme
court The property was then re-.
assessed on the basis of benefits and
damages. but the first assessment was
never stricken off the tax books. hence
the double tax for the paving. The
matter was left to the city attorney
for investigation.
