Claim, Assessments Unjust.

Two special instances OF the alleged
uniustress of the assessment on The
800 foot plan. where unplatted prop
crty was assessed and was without an
.Illey back $50 feet, was cited In the
ease of blessing Bros. corner Boone
and Twelfth, and the county fair
ground property. sts&
In the case of the blessing Bros
property it was shown that the as
sess ment against that property was
$3.50 greater Cor tho same frontage than
property of the same frontage that was
plated and lying east of the blessing
property.
In the case of the fair grounds tbs
assessment against 1t was nearly $500
more than was assessed against the
properties across Main street that were
plated. and most Of them improved
by dwellings. The reason in both these
cases for the difference was that the
assessment was levied on the I'M
plated property back 500 feet from the
street but the properties on the other
side of the street We're assessed back
only to the alley, or $50 feet.

ASSE SSMENTS FOR IMPROVE
MENTS MADE LAST SUMMER
LEVIED AS PREPARED.
COUNCIL DECLINES TO
MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS
Sixty Property Owners File Objections
Nov Have Twenty Days in Which
to Appeal - Certificates at City
Clerks Office Gist Of the Objec-
tons Made.

Objections of sixty property owners
to the assessments proposed TO De
levied by the city against the objec-
tors properties for pavement laid last
summer were rverTuled. and the coun
eli confirmed the assessments and or
dered them levied, at its adjourned
meeting this forenoon. The council
spent most of the forenoon hearing
oral and written objections.
The action OF the council can not
help but result in q great man" APP
peas to the district court. Objectors
have twenty days, or until March 20, in
which TO file their appeals.
The paving certificates Will be held
In the office of the city clerk for thirty
days. During that time property own
ers can appear there, sign waivers, and
take the option OF paying for the pave
menr III seven years, or they can pay
the full assessment to the clerk up to
April ! without interest. Ii waiver is
not flied. and the seven-year payment
plan accepted, all of the assessment
becomes due April | in the office of the
county treasurer.
Many Objections Alleged
The objections filed cover all the
ground that the attorneys who pre-
pared them could include. The objec-
tons. taken altogether, attack tho
legality of the council proceedings in
which irregularities are alleged. The
common objection of a long list OF OBJ
jectors was that the pavement was not
laid according 70 specifications. Specia!
chiertinn RI the construction was that
the pavement was not seven inches
thick.
Still other objections We're that tho
assessments were inequitable. unjust,
and confiscatory. or exceeded the one
fourth value of the property assessed.
One large group OF DIRECTORS filed their
objections on a printed form. and most
Of these We're owners Of property
fronting on West Linn, Boone. Church
and South Twelfth streets.
Courcil Refuses Adjustments.
An effort was made by attorneys
some of the property
owners to persuade the city council to
make adjustment Of assessments that,
on their face, appear inequitable- The
council, altho practically admitting the
in equality CT these special instances,
refused 10 make any adjustment be-
cause of establishing a precedent
which, once begun, would have to be
