City Corporation Counsel Hakcr, ans verlng In writing a request of ouncllman Mcdovem as to tho legality f the Water board's ussessmentB to cover ho cost of prlvato water mains, holds hat tho section under which tho Water joard acted Is unconstitutional and that tho proceedings of tho board In assessing propVrty owners 60 cents per front foot .'or extensions aro without legal sanction. This opinion, if correct, throws tne Water board Into a new and serious dilemma, for $15,000 has been assessed under section 16 of chapter XIV and tho Water board has paid contractors the difference between these assessments and the cost of the mains, Levies approxi mating $200 have been made against jome lotH nnd -the Indignant property owners declare tho amount is confiscatory. Judge Baker's, opinion, after citing the $100,000 levy for tho Water board annually as a sum for a distinct purpose, con tinues: It Id my opinion, however, that section 1G of Chapter XIV Is lu conflict with section 6. article IX of tho constitution of this state. H will ho observed that under said section 10 tho legislature has under; taker) to require a levy of all the costs of laying water mains up to GO cents per foot regardless of benefits to the lot. Under said section of tho constitution levy can only bo made equal to the bene fits to the lot. The supreme court of thlH state has held special assessments can only bo levied on property to the ex tent of benefits, therefore. In my opinion, the provision of tho statute in said sec tion 10, directing u levy to bo made, re gardless of benefits, Is In conflict with tho constitution and Is void, and that the city council of tho city of Omaha Is with out authority of law to mako assess ments for the payment of the cost of laying water mains. City commissioners, asked by tho Water board to approve theso assessments and collect them, have delayed, referred tho request to tho legal department and show a disinclination to In any manner Interfere now. Reno Attorney Says Divorce Laws May Changd in Nevada O. M. French, attorney of Reno, Nev., was a passenger on Union Paclflo No. 1 this morning, enrouto to his home from a business trip to New York.
