whero now paving of streets In being car
ried on. It Is a suit on the part of the
holder of a mortgago on city property to
have tho mortgage declared superior to
any Hen of Improvement upon tho streets
abutting tho property In question. A few
years ngo n Sioux City man placed n mort
gage of $B,000 upon his houco nnd lot. Later
on tno city decided to pave with nepltnlt tho
streets surrounding the house nnd lot. Its
certificates for this improvement agaliwt
tho property amount to some $1,500 by this
time. This ha not been paid and tho
property is about to bo sold for tho non
payment of tho special assessments and
taxes. The holder of the mortgago main
tains that this npocl.il assessment Is Junior
nnd Inferior to Hfi mortgago Hen. Tho
question arises, nhould this be the case, who
will have to bear tho expense of the paving
nnd the Improvement. Will It bo tho pav
ing company which did the work or the
city Itfaelf? The case If qulto suro to bo
taken to the supremo court of tho United
Statin', as there are hundreds of other
pieces of property in Sioux City which
would come under the same ruling. The
stato courts have already declared tho old
mothod of assessing property for paving as
unconstitutional, nnd tho legislature In its
last Bcsnlon passed a new law to cover the
defects. J, H. Quick, who wan mayor of
Sioux City nt lho tlmo tho paving was com
