The Supreme Court Of the United

tained the Court of Appeals of Mary

Appeals Tax Court Of Baltimore in
levying a special tax on property
specifically benefited by improve
ments. The case was docketed as
Phillip Wagner VS.. Oscar Lesser.
Judge Lesser being at that time the
president Of the Appeals Tax Court.
Justices Pitney and McReynolds
dissented from the views of the ma
lority.
II. Keith Compton. Of Baltimore. in
a lecture in the High School in this
city on November 5, explained and
slrocated the Baltimore law just up
leld as constitutional.
The act in question grew out of the
snte-election promises of Mayor Pres
ION. of Baltimore. then candidate
N the Democratic primary against
Mayor Mahool, not to adopt the But-
falo plan of assessment for street
paving. Under the Buffalo plan two
thirds Of the cost Of the paving Is
Imposed against the abutting owners
payable in annual installments rum
ming five years. II applies only ia
new paving. Mr.. Preston's objection

would result in favor OF those whose
streets had already been paved oul
Of the general city treasury or out OF
loans: hut without assessment against

Messrs. Preston and Field then oe
Tised the special paving tax plan
enacted into law i'm 1912, under whicl
he property on all improved streets
vas subjected TO a special annual ta'
or 10 years. the tax being graded
nto three classes. On streets whos'
pavement was 80 feet wide or owe

he rate is FIVE cents. Special Pre-
isiou is made for corner properties.
The act was made to apply no
Snly TO street pavement thereaite

provision which is the chief groun
Of attack against the validity OF IN
act. the claim being made that in TN
