' mm 1HE ILLS NO. 11 VOL. XXV HILLSBORO, OREGON, MAY 30, 1918 B6R n. LOXLEY WINS SUIT il THE Judge Campbell Decide Lien for Street Improvement Invalid CASE IS LONG IN COURT Loxlry Putt Down Cement, Pays For it, City Trie to Collect Judge ('nni)ii'll came over from Oregon City last Friday nntl ren dered a decision in I tie case of J. K. Loxlcy against the City of HilUhoro, unit to restrain (lie City f rum collecting on the lien docket for titrret Improvement on Washington Street. Loxlcy bought the properly from MK Rose Cave after she hml sued to restrain the oity from 'pulUiiK down (invemeiit in front of the property on the ground that the Warren Construction Coinpmiy had conspired with other con tractors to prevent free bidding on tlie work, an well a on other ground. The city thereupon built the Improvement in the section, hut did not put down the pave In front of the. property. After Loxlcy bought he paved with eement, and the city con tended the lien was a valid one. Attorney Hare and Peter, of I hire, McAlear & Peter, cited a recent case of our Supreme Court, and following that deci sion Judge Campbell held that the improvement on Washington Street was an entirety anil that failure on the part of the city to complete said improvement ren dered void the assessment. The effect of thi decision with respect to other aivcHttncuU in this particular Hector whs not deeiiled, but it would appear that it would logically follow that the failure of the city to com plete the Hector' entire improve ment would vitiate all the assess mcuU against the property if fol lowed to It last analysis, par ticularly to thoe who did not elect to bond. The eae ha dragged along in court for several year. Hare, McAlear & Peter were attorney for Mr. lixley, and II. T. Hagley and Benton How man were council for the city.
