The Oficial Statement, —p Since the change made in Council Blufis ¥y which the filling of strects is charged up to adjacent property, insteac of being paid for out of the general fund, there have been mmny complications ani much discussion. One of the strony points urged in support of the plan cf taring the cost =p to private property has been that other Towa cities have, under the same law, been following this plan. fome have denied this, while others have equally strongly affirmed it. Tn order to enlighten the readers of Tux Bre, and give them facts upon which to base argu- ments and opinions, the following ques- tions have been sent to the city clerks of several lowa citios having a population of upwards of 10,000: ““Ts the fiiling of streets in your city chargad up to abutting property, or is it paid for out of the general fund!” ““How long have you been following your present system of assessment in this regard?” ‘‘Have you had litigation upon this question?” A number of replies have been re- ceived. They are given below in full and Tur Bek will publish some further facts on this question in some future issue: Orromwa, January 26.—In reply would say that the grading of the streets in this city has always been done by the city and paid for out of the general fund tion uniting ine serviceat the Methodist t church. 3 The beard.df 'trade -meets to-night to make anotherattemptiet electing officers.

In reply would say that all street improvements, as spoken of are paid out of the general fund. I knew nothing to the contrary. I am, sir, W. D. Cunisty, City Clerk. Davesrorr, January 26.—Would say in reply that all our street work is done by the city and charged to the road fund, Being clerk for five years never knew of the assessment plan. We have four dif- ferent funds, road, general, special and water fund. Years ago when the city was young they assessed property owners for any improvment done in front of their property, but that is done away with now. Yours very respectfully, Joun MeSrteen, City Clerk. Towa Crry, January 206.—Since the incorporation of our city in 1853, the fill- ing of the streots has nevor been charg- ed to adjacent property. Only macadam and sidewalks are charged to adjacent property. All grading is done by the the city out of the gemeral fund. There nover was any litigation upon the ques- tion here. Your re.pectfuhy. May Orro, City Clerk. Krokuk, January 26,—In answer would say that all grading and_filling in stroets in our city is paid out of the gen- eral fund. This has always been the policy, and I do not think that this man- ner of doing it has ever been questioned or litigated by our oitizens. Yours truly, J.W.DELAPLAINE, City Clerk. RUBBZRS!
