JLU i-r- Pav Ing Case in Supreme Court iwing iroju.es oi nip city oi 'uuil wee aired in supremo iluir.Mlay, s.ijs the Stale Journ- l.it of the week. A number of - ".y owners in a district that the 'i and council decided should be ed arc lighting to the death of aft(!iicnl of the cots against i. Thev have a lonir list of IpltiI R. CO al imi nn th." re:-.- m or argument. They imply tlur m .pite of the law and the op-po- i ion of ' property owners the com vil jammed the paving down their me' iphorical throats. They claim tin the council did not follow the la1- ''int it ignored the city engineer an-i went out and hiied Grant & Ful ton f Lincoln and then let the cen tr; CO I th. in in ov ni' to a Lincoln linn without any ftition. A another reason why liould not pay they .said that .vingvlhe cost no charge was - against the street railway, its - r, Raymond W. Koontz, being a ioer of the council, at that time. .'lo paving row was appaiently a lively one. At one time the VI pit -ostants used the newspapers to w;. n the council that they must ex pe i a fight. "We mean what we s:; . Don't believe anything diffcr cir," was a part of the warning. I he city won in the court below, and its attorneys made considerable sp"t over the dragging in of the sti't car line. It was built many ynu- ago, to connect Red Cloud with thr -tation under the hill a long dis tai,' .- away where the railroad ran. It iid not pay, and has since been abandoned. Its owner did not con sW. i- it worth while to put in heavy in ' after the paving was put down. H; Kot a set of wheels for tho car tl. i would permit it to run on broad tii . while the car was crossing the paung, and then drop back onto the ord'nary tread where the rails joined the end of the paving. The city at torney thus treated the street car in cident: "Objection C is somewhat surpris ing. It is true there was in Red Cloud a street railway, which was operated more from romance than for any other reason. It was operated without a franchise and existed only by MiiTcrancc. It was purchased by tl.i' then owner for the extravagant su'ii of 075.00. ' This included the bo cars. The substantial character of its track, and the impermanence of it-i existence, may have occasioned it to be overlooked. In any event, w'on the pavement was put down, it was found that the rails 'were too lisjht and small to be built into the pavement. The track was thcrcfoie taken up, and the distinctive feature of the city's claim to notoriety was abandoned. "It is hardly presumable that the statute would impose upon the owner of this street car line, who had no franchise, the burden of building a new line, and operating it at a lots to meet the exigencies of the pavcmcit. But if the' law required this, it is no defense to these plaintiffs, and no justification for them to refuse to pay the portion that might be assessed against their lots. When they brought their injunction, they did not object that the street line was not to be as sessed its proper amount, but they ob jected to any assessment at ull. If the street car line were to bo assessed it would bo assessed at the meeting tho plaintiffs sought lo enjoin. Had the plaintiffs seriously desired that the owner of the street railway com pany should ho. charged with the ex pense of paving between the tracks they should have permitted the board to act in the matter of equalization. "Again, no one of the plaintiffs, by testimony or otherwise showed to the trial court that his assessment would be higher because of tho abandonment of the street railway. For aught tho proof shows, the street railway track was in front of the property of others than the plaintiffs. "Council are hardly justified in their insinuation against the dead owner of the street railway. It is true that, by abandoning his railway, he escaped the burden of changing the' rails and paying a portion of the assessment. He was tho owner of six lots which boar their portion of the assessment. He probably regret ted, as did most of the people of tho city, that tho street railway must be abandoned. Rut if its abandonment was necessary, all questions relating to tho street railway arc out of this case."
