TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1932 Score of Taxpayers Offer to ‘Buy - Back’ Condemned Alley From City’ Declare They Wanted ‘Some-|some attention would be paid to them. thing’ But Had Received ' ‘Something Else’ A score of Bismarck men and wom- @n apveared before the city commis- *sion Monday evening with a request that they be allowed to “buy back” from the city an alley in their block, which had been condemned upon their petition. The alley in question was one run- nues A and B in the block between Fifth and Sixth Sts. The alley. according to the taxpay- ers, had been there for more than 30 years but was not owned by the city ‘until 1930. The residents requested that the al- ley be improved, but the city could not improve the alley since it was private property. So the residents went ahead and improved it at their own expense. In the meantime the taxpayers pre- sented a petition that the property city could improve and maintain it. The city immediately began con- demnation proceedings and the prop- erty was condemned in district court when the taxpayers failed to appear. Payment Was Made Payment of $1,875 to the property owners in the block was ordered and made. Then the special assessment commission assessed the property owners according to the benefit the Property owners received from the alley. The taxpayers failed to protest against the assessment at either the hearing on the matter before the spe- cial assessment commission or the hearing before the city commission, and the report of the special assess- ment commission was adopted. Upon receiving the notice of the special assessments, the taxpayers de- cided, according to one of the spokes- men Monday evening, that they had wanted “something” and_ received “something else”—in short, they want- ed to “buy back” the alley. Upon learning that the alley had been there for at least 20 years, City Attorney C. L. Young told the ay ers that it may be possible to have the condemnation proceedings set aside. If Young finds this legally possible, the residents must return the $1,875 they received for the condemnation. ‘They said they were willing to do this. The commission approved a motion to abate the 1931 taxes on the Ger- man Baptist church parsonage prop- erty, on Eleventh St. between Ave- nues C and B, amounting to $93.24. Since last April 1. as property used for religious purpose, the property should have been tax-exempt.
