collecting assessments for improve.
ments in District No. Z. Eight other
cases now pending which involve an
immense sum arc affected by the su-
preme court ruling. which IS expected
to mark the end OF litigation over
payments.
In some instances tho assessments
made for Improvement work were
~confiscatory, according to charges OF
the taxpayers. The ruling. according
TO City Attorney r NJ. Boeke. is one
OF the most important In the history
OF tho state a. affecting city assess
ments for Improvement work.
The case had It's origin when grad
Ing district No. Z was created by a
resolution OF the city council. August
5. 1913. This district embraces near
ly all tho southwest portion of the
city from the Chicago and Northwest
err tracks south and from David
street west.
Tho Improvement consisted OF grad.
ing. o walks. culverts. curbs and
drains. The estimated cost was sf4s.-
GOO. and the actual cost about sf45, 500.
Bass and others who live in the
district based their contentious on the
alleged fact that:
~ The kind and character Of the
Improvement was not sufficiently de-
scribed in detail.
C2) The Improvement law OF wyo-
ming usf5) wa unconstitutional.
t) Engineers plans and specitica-
tons were detective.
The defense OF the city was that:
~ The taxpayers had notice of
hearings on creation of the district
and on confirmation of assessmen,
roll. but they made no protests until
I after h bonds were sold
C) By failure to protest, they
waived their rights to object.
Work or the district was complet.
cd in the fall of 1920. and the sui
was brought during the following
January. A decision was rendered Ar
favor OF Bass. March 10, 1921. Il
was appealed to the supreme cour'
by the city. and was argued Their,
January 10. 1922. Tho supreme cour
