SUIT INVOLVES PAVING.
Melman Sues Laekey, County and City
on Contract of Purchase,

on SOHtTdCS OF fuFCfrdSS.
Who is TO pay for the pavement laid
abutting property in the Fourth ward
is the real question involved in a suit
filed by David Mel.nan against Nelson
Lackey. the county. and the city. 1t is
only the third suit that has been be-
gun. involving much the same issues,
and exactly the same property. The
other two were begun by Lackey
against Melman.
In 1909 Melnan and Lackey entered
into contract by which Melnan was
TO buy of Lackey a certain residence
property. During 1912 the city paved
around the property and levied assess
ments amounting to about $500 aaginst
the property. 1t Is alleged that this
year Lackey claimed s97462 as the
balance due for the property, and that
Melman rendered this amount in cash,
but that, when Lackey furnished an
abstract, it showed that the tax as
sessment for paving had never been
paid, and stood as a lien against the
property. The property is scheduled
for sale Monday for this delinquent
special tax.
The petition asks the court TO compel
Lackey to accept the payment rendered
and furnish an abstract, showing the
paving tax paid and the property clear.
A temporary writ OF injunction Is
asked 10 be issued against the county
treasurer and the city from selling the
property for taxes next Monday.
