PAVE. CASE

Supreme Court Dismisses Appeal
from Guthrie for Want Of
Jurisdiction = Validity Of
Law Involved

In a communication to the Daily EX
press, Splitter, Rorick & Co. of Toledo,
Ohio, purchasers Of large amount
Of Chickasha paving bonds, call atten-
tion to the recent court decisions af-
fecting the validity of the Oklahoma
paving la@ The communication re-
ceived follows:
you will no doubt remember that
some time ago the supreme court of
oklahoma decided adversely to the
plaintiffs in a case entitled Schultz VS.
Ritterbusch. which was a paving case
coming up from the city OF Guthrie
The principal points decided were
that the paving law of 1908 was con-
stitutional that the IS per cent penalty
was valid ana enforceable, and that the
sixty days rericd OF limitation in the
state barred property owners from en-
joining collection Of assessments or
account of defects in the proceedings
which were no iurisdictional.
"As you will also remember, the de
cision Of the lower court in this case
which was reversed by the supreme
court, was widely advertised through
out the cities Of Oklahoma, and espec
tally in Chickasha, and gave to many
owners of property against which were
levied special assessments hope thai
they might finally evade payment o.
their assessments
This case was taken on writ Of er
ror to the supreme court Of the Unite,
States, and we are now advised b.
attorneys for defendants in error tina
on Monday, March g. the United State
supreme court rendered its decision
and sustained the motion OF defend
ants in error to have the case dismiss
ed for want of jurisdiction. As re
suit Of this decision the judgment 0
the supreme court sustaining the cor
stitutionality of the paving law an
the enforcibility of the Is per cen
penalty, stands as the law of the stat
OF Oklahoma in all respects.
sInasmuch as the Oklahoma suprem
court denied two applications for r'
lhearing in this case, the points invor
ed are forever settled
