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.
