PROTEST AGAINST

ASSESSMENTS IN DISTRICTS

VIEWED BY COUNCIL.
From Wednesdays Daily.

From Wednesdays Daily
The assessment of benefits levied
against property in Street Improve
ment Districts Nos. and have been
protested by several taxpayers, who
have filed complaints with Recorder
George Shaw, Jr., and there is a
strong probability that the organiza-
tion of the districts may not be COM
pleted in time for the paving to be
done before the winter season begins.
A few of the property-owners, how
ever, have already withdrawn the pro-
tests which they filed and it is posi-
bile that when the city council meets
on next Tuesday night to review the
assessments, the matters may be ad-
Indicated so that there will be no de-
lay.
The St. Louis, Iron Mountain &
Southern Railway Company filed the
only formally drafted attack on the
district, protesting against the assess
ment on their property on district No.
a, on which levy Of $665 was made.
The protest, which was filed by At
torney w. P. Strait of Morrilton, de-
MES the legality of the district and
the constitutionality of the laws un-
der which it was formed. Another
protest was filed by Central College,
against which an assessment of $4,000
was made in district No. 4.
In district No. Mrs. Susan B.
Worsham, Miss E. G. Randell and
Miss Bessie Randell filed protests
against the assessments on their prop
verty, Miss E. G. Randell also protest
ing against the assessment levied up
~on the Episcopal church property at
the corner of Prince street and Lo-
Gust avenue.
