nue., especially those who own abut-
ting real estate north of the Old
brewery property, have made nun
erOus complaints before the City
Council relative to so-called and con.
templatcd Improvements. Assess
ments have been made and confirmed
and the time of payment has arrived.
Now it appears there is trouble
over the proposition as to the city 5
title TO the street. tbs street, or a
large part of il, was a part Of the old
Union Pacific Railroad grade Taxes
for many years went delinquent.
during which time the city claimed
the grade as highway by adverse
possession and as user. In the mean
time the Northwest Improvement
Company, supposed TO be connected
with the Great Northern Railroad,
obtained delinquency tax certificates
from Thurstcn county on this grade.
paid the taxes thereon continuously,
including those levied in 1910. Now
the question confronts these owners
whether the city had such title as to
authorize it to make a valid assess
ment. 1t would seem that the I'M
provement company, by having kept
the taxes paid up, does not intend to
abandon its claim of title and there
is trouble ahead.
Some of these owners have con-
suited with attorneys who advise
payment of the first installment of
the assessment and ask the city to
bring an action to quiet title to the
highway. A few have paid, fearful
that in the end the assessment will
be collected with added attorneys
fees, interest and costs. Others
again, do not propose to pay any
thing until the ownership of the
street shall have been adjusted.
The first installment has fallen
due and the contractors who per-
formed the labor want their pay;
importune the City Clerk and deputy
often and strenuously to proceed and
get their money, and it is said the
owners are told the city's right to
this street is complete. 1t seems no
m IRE than right that the city should
obtain, in some manner, good title
to this thoroughfare, in order to pro-
tect the unfortunate owners, for
they would hardly care to pay for as
sessments levied against the hold
ings of the Improvement company
and find themselves cut off from any
street in getting to and from their
property.
This company may, however, ask
the city to reimburse it for all taxes
and interest paid before it will quit,
claim its title. There will also be
objections to paying such charges
out of the city's general fund. 1t is
strange the city did not inquire into
its title to the street, before ordering
the improvements. Let us see what
we shall see.
The owners may find they are
handicapped in that they did not
protest while the proceedings were
pending before the Council, and ap-
peal directly within ten days from
the date OF the confirmation of the
assessment, though it might appea,
difficult to determine just how the
Council could determine at that stage
the merits of any controversy re-
specting this street as between the
city and Improvement company.
