however, are Miose holding acreage
property, the assessments having
been levied oa the busls of an ordi
nary building lot and of course
acreage property including three,
five and ten acre tracts necessarily
are burdened with a large sum for
acwernge. I hardly think, however,
any person would be ao unfair aa to
require this kind of property to be
exempt from lta proper proportion of
the expense of the construction of
sewers. No person u&n successfully
hold acreage property within the
corporate limits of this city or any
other city for any purpose other than
for residence or bualneaa property.
Agricultural landa are not supposed
to be within an Incorporated city apd
consequently bureenad with taxation
for local Improvements. Parties,
however, who have acreage property
within the city limita are not In any
manper Injured or wronged by thea
assessments for th. very simple rea
son that upon subdivision of su,ch
tracts they will be euabled to find a
ready sale at advanced prlcea. The
approximate expense to an ordinary
building lot 60 by 150 feet with

much exceed in expense to the prop

stating that a property owner might
