GOOD PROSPECTS FOR PAYING
Oitj Officials Anzioni to Ears Wickham
Contract Carried Out.
ALDERMAN CASPER PUSHING THE MATTER
In Gclllnc I'roitrrlr Owner * to Sl n
Consent to tlic Contract nnil to
Wnltc Tlu-lr Itl IU to IJIh-
putlriR the
It now looks a * if there was a prospect
for the pavlnc ordered on certain streets
last fall by the city council to be carried
out. The city officials are anxious that the
work should be proceeded with , as the
price at which the contract was let to
Wlckham Bros. Is most favorable and would
not likely be secured again. Alderman
Casper Is pushing the matter and Is get
ting the Interested property owners to elgn
a consent to the contract and to waive
their rlchU to disputing the assessment.
The work has so far been stopped , owing
to the decision of the eupreme court in a
paving suit In which It .was held that prop *
crty could not be assessed for special im
provements for more than the benefit accru
ing to the property by such Improvement.
This decision has proven a veritable stum
bling block eo far , to the carrying out of
further public Improvements , as the pres
ent city ordinances require the cost of Im
provements , nuch as paving , to bo assessed
against the abutting property according to
the lineal feet of the property and Irre
spective of the benefits accruing to such
property. The property owners on Bryant
street all appear to be willing that the
street shall bo paved and already two-
thirds of the owners on Main street have
signed the waiver. The interested prop
erty owners on Willow street are also said
to 'be in favor of having their portion of
the thoroughfare paved. The contract price
for the paving of these streets la J1.10 and
it Is said that at this rate the contractor
Is not at all anxious to go ahead with the
work unless forced to. The paving of
Avenue F , between Oakland avenue and
North Second street , was let at $1-38 , and
this the contractor -wllllne to carry out
and with the exception of one or two the
property owners are wllllnc that he should.
Owing to the opposition to the paving on
Washington avenue and Benton street Al
derman Casper stated yesterday that no
effort would be made by the city to have
these streets paved at present.
City Attorney Wadsworth , who attended
the meeting at Des Molncs of the city at
torneys of the principal cities In the state ,
atwhich this paving question was the prin
cipal subject of discussion , has prepared a
report for the guidance of the city officials ,
which ho submitted at the meeting of the
city council last night.
IllllCH KM 10 I'nVltKT.
After reviewing the decision of the supreme
premo court in the paving case City At
torney Wadsworth says In his report that
the following rules -were deduced at the
meeting as the result of that decision :
First That a special assessment upon
abutting or adjacent property for the cost of
a local Improvement In substantial excess of
the special benefit * conferred upon such
property Is void to the extent of such ex
cess , but to that extent only.
Second That assessment upon abutting
or adjacent property for the cost of a local
Improvement which is levied under a rule
or system which excludes any inquiry or
opportunity to be heard as to special bene
fits , will be Invalid.
Third That a special assessment upon
abutting or adjacent property for the cost
of a locar Improvement which Is levied under
a plan or a system which does not exclude
an Investigation or .consideration of Ihe spe
cial benefits and which accords to the prop
erty owner an opportunity to bo heard upon
the question of the amount to bo assessed ,
will be sustained.
After stating the substance of the Iowa
assessment laws -which do not require the
assessment of Improvement ! * against abut
ting property , but permit the payment of a
whole or part agalnet from the street Im
provement fund , the report continues :
It is true that In sections 817 , 818 and 19
assessments arc required to be made In
proportion to the lineal feet , but constru
ing tbo several sections of the staute to
gether it Is clear that while the city has the
power In a proper case to assess the entire -
tire cost of the street improvement or sewer
to the abutting or adjacent property , yet it
Is not required to assess the whole and can
assess so much as Is by law or ordinance as
sessable. The constitution Is a law and If
It limits the amount to be assessed to the
special benefits to be conferred , then the
language of the statute as plainly limits
the amount to bo assessed to the specUl
benefits conferred upon the property to ba
assessed.
Again in section 23 the property owner
Is given on opportunity to object and to
bo heard respecting all errors , irreguarltles
and inequalities in the proposed assess
ment , and thus can object and bo hearl ,
either because there Is an error or irregu
larity In that the entlro amount proposed
to be assessed upon all properly Is In excess
of the amount by law or ordinance assess
able , I. c. , In oxccss of benefits , or that there
is an Irregularity inequality In that he is
charged more than his proportion of the
amount aescEsablo ; and If aggrieved by the
assessment made ho is given in section 839
an appeal In which can be tried every ques
tion touching the validity or regularity of
any of the proceedings or the amount of the
assessment nnd have n decree entered fixIng -
Ing tbo assessment which should have been
made.
Applying theco principles to the assess
ments already proposed by a resolution of
the city council It would ho seen that 18
improvements are made in a portion of the
city where the property Is valuable nnd
where there Is a great amount of necessary
travel the benefits accruing to the abutting
property would bo equal to the amount as
sessed against the respective pieces of
property and that property owners , even
under tbo findings In the case of Norwood
against Baker would have little chance of
getting relief of the payment of any part
of tbo amounts so respectively assessed.
It was the judgment of tbo convention
that where property owners ore given an
opportunity to bo heard In regard to the
amount to be assessed against their prop
erty and fair to object that they arc here
after estopped from raising the question of
the legality of the assessment.
Whereas , In my Judgment , with the ex
ception of a few Irregular pieces of prop *
erty having largo frontage and small area ,
the Improvements contemplated by the res
olutions already passed could be legally as-
eesscd against the abutting property and
that tbo assessments could be collected , at
the same time I would deem It advliable to
amend tbo gcneraF Improvement ordinance
so that it will authorize tbo city council to
assess the costs of improvements to the
abutting property owners In proportion to
the benefits derived and the excess cost of
said Improvements should bo paid out of the
street Improvement fund , as provided by
law.

council was held last night.
R. M. Patterson of Chicago submitted an
ordinance granting his company a franchise
