I'hlla. niM'ipp ni\ivr finniv i VPPO RE\ISfc \ PAuNG ORDINAMta Council Adopts a New Rals Relathe to Improving Streets. PLAN IN INTEREST OF PROPERTY OWNERS Improvement DlnlrlcU > ot to lie Crcntcil I Hill ) lnjurll > nf Mrrel I'rcintnRi * linn llreu Crrllllrd to lij fit } In the future the city council will order no ( streets paved nor wlH It r > aj any ordi nances creating paving districts unless the Improvement is petitioned for by property owners representing thu majority of the front feet of real estate abutting upon the street to bo paved and unless this petition Is propcrl ) certified to by the cltj engineer. The council decided upon this course by passing a resolution to this effect at its last meeting. It will bo rigidly enforced , and II It U 11 will do away wlih the man > ordi nances providing for the creation of paving districts wlthoul the petition of property onncrs , which are continually being intro duced and passed at the council meetings , The rule was determined upon after a con sultation between several of the councllmcn nnd the city attorney. A number of rcasoni arc assigned for the action , bul Ihe main ono Is that there Is continual danger that the courts will declare Illegal the tax levied for paving which has not been properly pe titioned for. City Atlorney Connell dcclarci that a considerable amount of taxes has been knocked out by the courts on this ground , the rtMilt being that the city must pay fet the paving out of Ihe general fund. "It Is true , of course , that property own- cr can prevent arc paving ordered by lh council if Ihe jwncrs of the ma jority of property abutting on tha street do not want It , " declares City Allorncy Connell , "Tho charter provides that In cases where the council orders pav ing , Iho work dhall not bo done If n ma jority of the property owners file a protest within thirty days. The difficulty Is , how ever , that the average property owner doca not pay much attention to actual workings of the city government and Is not aware that an ordinance has been passed , ordering the paving of hlfi street. Ho can object after the thirty jlays for protest has expired , but It dorti no good. The result Is that ho Is burdened with a heavy paving tax that ho pcrhapa cannot afford , but pays rather than go to law ; or else ho tights the tax In court and In many cases wins. "Thero will bo eomo objection to the rule from citizens who declare that they are prevented from having streets paved bocausa non-resident property holders , who nro holding realty for speculation will rofueo to Incur the tax for the improvement of Iho streets. Uven then I question the right of. the council to order the paving wlthoul the consent of llm people who will bo taxed for ll , but In such canes Iho council can watvo Us rule If ll so desires " The rcsolullon was adopted for nn econom ical reason also.
