Buys New Overland. , In the case of Wm. -! f!. Rmmn against the city of La Grande, in which property owners alono- Fnnrth street protested against an assess ment ior paving, claiming that tho old council did not follow the provi sions of the citv charter. .Tndnu. Knowles this afternoon handed down a decision in favor of the Fourth street property owners. The technical omission . on tha part of the citv council at. ttia.r. tin. was the failure to serve notice of improvement on some of the owners. as the charter required It to be given and for this reason the city never ac quired the jurisdiction, to make the improvement As provisions of the charter have to be strictly followed, the city will now be required to do this necessary work over again. In the second street controversy, the judge held that before the assessment could be validated, the city would have to go through the formality again as provided by the charter. The outcome will be that, even though the work has been completed. the city will have to comply with the requirements of the charter. Remon strances on the part of the property owners will have no effect as soon as this has been done. Turner Oliver represented the prop erty owners, J. P. Rusk represented the Warren--Construction company, and Jno. Hodgin represented the city. The property owners who are com plainants in this case are: Wm. .C. Hanson, George Jacoos, L. Irene King, Geo.
