NOTICE

Some pertinent facts pertaining
to the property owner assessed for
special improvement work in Grad
ing District No. 4, in the City OF
Casper:
For the information of those peo-
pie affected by the special assess
ment mentioned above, the follow
ing facts are set forth:
1. If the action instituted by
Walter L. Bass against the City of
Casper should be appealed to the
Supreme Court of the United
States, this case might be in litiga-
ton for from two to four years.
9. If such action is taken, it
would probably be impossible to
dispose of any paving bonds which
covered any portion of this district,
and the property owner could not
get total benefit of such grading as
he is entitled to.
8. Any street must be graded
before it can be paved. If these
streets are now paved, the property
owner receives u direct and imme-
| date benefit in the cost of his paw
ing by having had them previously
graded. 7
a. If the action Of Walter L.
Bass against the City of Casper is
carried to the Supreme Court of the
United States, this action does not
protect any other property owner
in the district, as this suit and the
injunction first granted thereon in
the decision of the lower court only
involves the one lot owned by the
plaintiff, Waltz L. Bass. and the
bondholdcrs or the City of Casper
could at any time institute fore
closure proceedings because of the
lack of payment of the tax against
any other property located in said
district.

to follow his achievements right on
down the line. from the Ohio well

But I will say that all the really
