The city has filed Its answer In the suit
brought toy Fremont Benjamin In the district
court , wherein he attacks the constitution
ality of certain special taxes for which prop
erty owned by him was sold at tax sale.
Benjamin raised the point that the assess
ment of the taxes In question was illegal ,
Inasmuch as it was based on the frontage
of the property and not on the benefits
acrulng to the property by reason of the Im
provement.
The city in Its answer asserts that the
taxes were assessed in accordance with the
benefits derived by the property ; that the
property was benefited to the amount of the
tax assessed and , further , that the law under
which the assessment was made was consti
tutional. The city also contends that Benja
min Is estopped from bringing suit ns he
purchased the property In question at tax
sale and paid ono Installment of the very
taxes which he. now complains are illegal.
Further , that the property was sold later
for taxes at tax sale and that the subsequent
taxes have ibeen paid by the purchaser ,
therefore the city Is not properly a party to
the suit. Benjamin's only remedy , It U con
tended 'by ' the city , Is to redeem the property
from the last tax purchaser. Benjamin's
suit Is the first of its nature brought In this
district and raises a now point of law.

as boys. Their "business" is harder on shoos than the roughest
work any man does. When a boy's 'business" carries him up
an alley or across a vacant lot , ho hasn't time lo look whether
_ . . . there are any mud holes , tin cans , barb wire or other destroyers of
shoes in his path. And at no time has a boy any time to bo careful of his shoes. Boys need
good shoes and it is economy to buy the best that is made. They wear longer , and beside
poor shoes means wet feet and wet foot means los of time from "business" while his sore
throat gets well.
