After some consideration of the chances of the place to make It go under the restric- tlons of the law, while all the other saloons of the city are running In violation of nearly every provision of the law, the own- ers of the Manhattan concluded to give up Paving Question In the Fourth War Settled that Way. The clty council last night acted on the paving question in the Fourth ward by or- dering the following streets and avenues paved with vitrified brick: First avenue, from Main street to Eighth street; Willow avenue, from Sixth to Eighth street; Fifth enue, from Main to Elghth street; Sixth street, i v (he ghost. For business reasons the own- | gt “iom Broadway to Fifth avenue ers of the Manhattan cannot carry the war | Jovanih | % into Egypt, but it Is said that the county attorney contemplates the complete en- forcement of the law against all saloons. This, it is thought, would result in & dimin- ution of the number of saloons and a falling off tn city revenues that would be keenly telt. The order carrled by a majority vote of the council on the assumption that more than haif the property concerned on each street was represented on the petition for brick. There were many petitions and counter petitions for this, that and the ol other thing, but Aldermen Boyer, Clark, Huber and Lovett constituted the majority that took the position that brick was ahead in the contest and accordingly the paving ordered. Alderman McDonald held out nst it and wanted to know who had passed on the sufMclency of the petition. Alderman Lougee was absent. The contract with E. A. Wickham was changed s0 that sand instead of cement filler will be used on Sixth, Seventh and Park avenues, now being paved. The women ot the Lutheru werve dinner and supper on at 14 Main street.

CAN'T ASSESS SO FAR BACK Treasurer in Limited to Last Yeurs for t ae of Fer- reting xen Dut In the case of August Beresheim, guardian of J. B. Keeline, in the district court, Judge Wheeler yesterday morniug rendered a decision in part favorable to either side of the controversy. The sult was an appeal from the action of the treasurer in assessing property omitted from assessments from 1806 to 1900, in- clusive, and the holding of the court |is that the treasurer may make the assess- ment for the years beginning with 1898, by authority conferred by a section of the code of 1897, but that he may not make it for the years prior to that time, for the reason that the act conferring the author- ity must be held not to be retroactive, else ft nust be held to be unconstitutional. The amount of taxes involved in this case was $4,000, but the decision is further reaching for the reason that there are eeveral similar cases pending and in ad- dition to this all of the assessments by the treasurer as the result of the work of the tax ferret, Cunningham, are involved, the total amount at siake being a great many thousand dollars. All of the work of the ferret has covered a period of five years, the presumption being at the outset that he and the treasurer might reach back that far Into the past. But as the law under which the treasurer acis was passed only three years back and as the court holds that it was not intended to be and could not be retroactive, assess- ments back of that time cannot be made. ‘fhe court holds that the sole question in the case Is as to the authority of the treas- urer to make the assessment. Prior to the adoption of the present code there was no statute conferring or attempting to confer upon the treasurer authority to as- sess personal property. In the preparation of the code of 1897, however, the tax laws were revised and an entirely new section was Inserted. This actlon pro- vides that wheu property subject to taxa- tion is withheld, overlooked, or for any other cause is not listed and assessed, the county treasurer shall when apprised thereof, at any time within five years from the date at which time the asgessment should have been made, demand of the owner of the property the amount of the tax, together with 6 per cent Interest thereon, from the time the taxes would have become due and payable bad the property been listed and assessed, and upon failure to pay the sum within thirty days, with all accrued interest, he shall cause sult to be brought In the name of the treasurer for the use of the proper county, to be prosecuted by the county at- torney or such other person as the board of supervisors may appoint, and when such property has heen fraudulently with- held from assessment there shall be added to the sum found to be due a penalty of per cent on the amount, which shall be Included in the judgment. The first question considered by the court w whether or not this section of the code confers upon the treasurer authority to make an assessment. He says that it is perhaps true that such authority in express language is not conferred. It this statute i8 1o be subjected to a strict construction and confined to the exact letter of the law it may be that such power Is not conferred, but the court holds that the language ought to be 80 construed as to give effect to the obvious intention and meaning of the leg- islature, rather than to defeat that intention by a too strict adherence to the letter. He holds that the statute in question does not impose a tax on the property, but that that burden is imposed by other statutes From the language of the section the court finds that the legislature Intended to impose upon the treasurer a duty. It makes it his duty to demand the payment of the amount due upon the property. All laws necessarily bear with them all the powers or incldents necessary to fully carry out their intention It is clear that the treasurer carnot make demands of the amount the property should | have been taxed without first ascertaining and fixing as the basls of such demand the value of the omitted property, This means that he must assess the omlitted property, for an assessment is nothing more or less than determining the taxable value of prop- erty. This section means this or it means nothing, is the declaration of the court. Relative to the constitutionality of the law, which was cailed into question because no method of giving notice of the assess- ment is provided, the court ys that it must be conceded that an opportunity for hearing is essential to the valldity of an sessment, but it is not essentlal that such opportunity be provided prior to the act of making the assessment. It is suf- clent If given at come stage of the pro- ceedings and before the ment be- comes a fixed charge against the property. With reference to the charge that the the | The first of the | law is unconstitutional on the ground that the treasurer (s interested in the amount of taxes to be collected, as that in a | measure fixes the amount of his compens tion, the court held that so long as the right of appeal existed this theory could not hold. If this were true scarcely a to perform the duties of assessor, as his burden would be lessened in proportion as that of other property owners was increased under the assessment fixed by him. The court also passed on the constitu- tionallty of the law with reference to fts being class legislation. It has been con- tended that it provided for entering a judg- ment against the taxpayer which might not only take the property in this state, but Property in other states not subject to taxation in this. The court holds that 1t Is made the duty of every taxpayer to list his property and pay his taxes, and if he neglects to do so he cannot complain 1t he is left (o the “doom" of the treasurer and the court In conclusion the court held that the act of 1857 was not retroactive and that the assessment could not be made back of that time, FOR THE BONDS. RESPONSIBILITY Recelvers of Pank Allke Evade It. The clerk of the district court has a batch of trouble of his own. When the claims of the preferred creditors of the defunct Officer & Pusey bank were first allowed the court permitted tbem to draw but 25 per cent of the amount, that being the sum of the first dividend to gemeral creditors, the remaining 75 per cent belng held for six months to allow for the possi- | ble contingency of appeal and rever: Later the court held that upon filing a bond n twice the sum of the remaining 75 per cent a glven preferred creditor might re- ceive the balance of his clalm. It was con- templated that these bonds should be ap- proved by the receivers, but they have re- tused the responsibility and referred the clalmants to the clerk of the court and now he is also unwilling to pass on the bonds.

TWENTY-TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS SHORT Another Candidate for Governor May Withdraw=Friends of Cammins Will Instet on Hin Namiug His Own Delegates. DES MOINES, April 20.—(Special.)—The commencement of suit against Lieutenant George A. Reed of this city, on behalf of the United States, to recover on ac- count of stores recelved while he in the army, caused no surprise among the soldiers of the Fifty-first lowa, who were with Reed at San Francisco, but the amount of the government clalm was an eye-opener. Sult was commenced today in the federal court by Attorney Miles for the United States to recover $32,442.14 from Reed. It Is charged In the petition placed on file that while he was actiog commissary of the general hospital at the Presidio, San Francisco, in 18089, supplies passed through his hands to the amount of $211,177, and of these there failed to go to the proper place supplies of the value indicated 1o the suit. Reed was commissioned on the outbreak of the Spanish war and went with the Fifty-first lowa volunteers to San Fran- cisco. He was battalion adjutant, with the rank of lieutenant. When he arrived at San Francisco he became commissary ot the regiment and when the regiment went to the Philippines he was left be- commissary of the hospital. He returned in 1899, At the time the Towa regiment went to the Philippines it was remarked by many of them that Reed was living pretty high !n San Francisco and reports came to the regiment that all was not right. After Reed's retirement and re- turn home his accounts were subjected to Investigation, and on the report of F. E. Ritiman, auditor of the War department, the present suit is based. The petition Is accompanied by the report of the special auditor ard an l‘emized statement is made, showing the shortage. Reed refused to make any definite statement today con- cerning the case beyond asserting that he would be able to make a report showing that his accounts are straight and he does not owe the government anything 1s a son of W. G. Reed, harnessmaker, and since his return has been working for his father. Another Candidate May Withdraw. Announcement that George D.
