Irwin B. Linton Submits Views.

In a letter to Representative Tink-
ham, Irwin B. Linton, an attorney
of this city. calls attention to what
he considers an injustice in the as
sessment of certain property owners
for the relaying of streets In lexington.
Mr.. Linton suggests that many prop
erty owners would welcome legislation
to exempt citizens from paying for the
relaying of the roadway of a street,
made necessary by use which Is not
local to the adjoining property. and
which Is not in any way related to the
erty.
AS an Illustration, Mr.. Linton cites
Seaton street between I'd and Sd
streets northeast, where property own
ers have been assessed. under the Bor-
land act, one-half the cost of relaying
the paving. He pointed out that the
original streets were all paid for
privately in the subdivision of Eek
ington, and that now property owners
are asked to pay for them again. The
paving has worn out. he said, because
of trucks going TO and from the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad yards.
1T will become moro frequently
necessary to relay the roadways as the
years go by" the letter asserts. Ought
the resident property holders of the
section be required to pay the cost of
such renewalsT'
