This is the 1 .wi, ease. The plaintiffs in this action instituted proceedings agamsi ,t, tn rcstain it from collecting the assessments for the Bond street improvements a year or so ago. inc plaintiffs alleged three main causes for their suit-that tne maier.a. u was not in accordance with the con tract that the assessment district had been ."gerrymandered" by tne coun cil for the purposes of the assess ment, and that the contractu... Lebeck, was at the time of securing the contract a member ot tne eou,. . To this latter statement r. and his friends enter vigorous de nial. The defense had demurred to uin as heinc insufficient to ... . c a nf action, and had tne State a w " . . ,. demurrer been sustained, it would have virtually meant that the plain tiffs had lost. Now, however, the !a nrnnerlv sustained in court and the defense is given proper time to file its answer and later tne v. will be tried on its merits. Meanwhile the city is temporarily enjoined from collecting the assessments, to about $7000, and the comm also unpaid. If the defense should lose it would mean, apparently, that the assessment can never be collected. NEW YORK, March 11.
