According to the Freeman-Trib-
une's way of thinking, the new law
introduced by Senator Chase of this
city and pushed through the senate
by him, is fair and just. All prop
erty is benefited by street paving
and it is rank injustice, as nearly
everybody comedies, to make the
corner lot pay three times as much
for street improvements of this char
acter as is paid by the lot adjoining
Just where the benefits stop is diff
ficult to determine. But suppose the
lots were 1872 by 800, instead 1872
by &c, how far would the benefit
reach? Is it just to say that the
benefit all accrues to the first &C
feet merely because there is an i'm
aginary line there separating that
lot from the one adjoining. Suppose
that corner lot was only % feet
wide, would the remainder of it
the other A feet-receive no bene-
nit? The corner lot should pay about
twice as much for paving as the lots
adjoining and We take it that is the
way the Monticello council proposes
to assess. Why isn't it just as fail
to divide the cost of paving a cross
street among the owners of the
block, making the corner property
pay about half of it, as it is to assess
the intersection up to all the prop.
erty owners, even though some OF
the lots may be five hundred feet
from the intersection?
1t is to be hoped that the supreme
court will sustain the new law and
then the Freeman Tribune hopes tc
see the cross streets in Webster City
paved without unnecessary delay
But unless the law is sustained the
cross streets should not be paved un.
til we have council who will give
some attention to the rights of corn,
er lot owners.

THE CHASE Law IS
SOURCE Of TROUBLE
Property Owners at Monticello OBJ
ject to Plan of Assessment I'm
der New Statute.

| Monticello, June 27.-This city
will furnish a test case to determine
the validity of the recent corner lot
paving law. Monticello is preparing
to award contracts for 100000
worth of new paving and as the ex-
pense will fall on property owners
who are not benefited by the i'm
provements it is expected the matter
will be taken into court and an in
junction asked at once.
The city council at Monticello
met last night when M. Tschirgi &
Sons, of this city, engineers, who
have prepared the plans of assess
ment, presented them and the coun-
Gil ordered the specifications prepar-
ed and bids advertised for.
The moment this is done it is GER
tain the property owners, not to be
benefited by the improvements, will
go into court and take steps to stop
the work until the constitutiona1ity
of the law is tested and the supreme
court makes a ruling. If this step
is taken an effort will be made to
have the supreme court hand down
an opinion as early as possible as
paving is being delayed in all Sec
lions of the state because of the
wish of city officials to protect prop
city owners.
At Monticello the main street has
been paved and the plans now I'M
der consideration call for paving the
north and south streets that never
have been improved. The new law,
according to persons who are famil-
lar with it, works a hardship on
hundreds of property owners at
if the work is done under
It.
Mr.. Tschirgi has figured out the
cost to the property owners at Mon
;icello and he said today that it had
'esolVed itself into purely mathe.
natical problem. He says the cost
% each property will be about two
'ents square foot. He figures
hat a person owning property on an
street will pay $20O.51 for
he paving and a property owner
L6O feet distant will be assessed
S66.94 for an improvement that does
no good. The nearer a property
owner is to an improvement the
more he will have to pay and the
farther away the less he will be as
'essed. In some instances at Mon
.icello there will be no assessment
against an owner because his lot
happens to be a few inches beyond
he three hundred feet, but the own
r who is just inside of the three
feet limit must pay for a
treet that his property does not
ouch and which is of no earthly
'enefit to him.
