streets The lot rs 66x132 and
lies in the residence district Of the
city A paving assessment of $543 was
levied against 1t the long way OF the
lot for the 1913 paving and in 1912
about 5000 was levied the short way
A recent decision OF the supreme court.
held that assessments made in any one
year could equal 20 per cent OF the
value of the property, so the plaintiff
was barred from combining assessments
and claiming the total was above the
limit OF the law Under this ruling
the city was obliged to prove the lot
w.,.h about $4,000, whereas Mrs. Garth
claimed 1t not worth over $1.7OO to
81. 800 The city claimed 1t worth fully
$500 and made good their claim. for
Judge Wright held that the assessment
was just and legal.
Several other cases involving this
same issue are pending, but VIII now
probably be withdrawn.
