Owen Moore is ideally cast in le character of "Tom Burton," the "temporary husband."

Judge Lavell was called upoa Thursday morning to decide upon two interesting cases in® regard to Local Improvement charges. M. S. McFarlane, who owns aT at the corner of Earl and Albert streets, appealed against the Court of Re- vision 'decision that he could not re- ceive a reduction on iis Albert street frontage for road paving antil pav- Ing was also done on his Earl street frontage. The statute provides that a reduction is to be made for corn- €r lots in respéct to local improve- ments, and the custom of Kingston- and many other municipalivles is to charge on two-thirds of the total frontage. Mr. McFarlane has 44 tee. on Earl street, and 85 feet on Al- bert street, the latter being paved. A. E. Day, acting for the appel- lant, cohitended that according to the law in case of a corner lot when there are local improvement charges that become a burden on the pro- perty owner, the city was called up- on to give a reduction of one-third of the total frontage on both streets. In other words it would mean that the owner would only pay for twa thirds of the total frontage on both streets. He contended that a reduc- tion should be made at once. Mr. Rigney stated he .did not dis- agree on that, but the custom had been In Kingston when a pavement was bullt on a street the owners of property who reside on the corners, as Mr. McFarlane does, would pay the total cost of the local improve- ment on one street and them When the other street front was paved he would receive a reduction of one- third of the total frontage on both streets, City Engineer Howard Dick stat- ed that this is the policy he has been following for some years and other cities were doing likewise. Judge Lavell stated that although It might have been the practice, the act Ats- tinctly stated that a reduction "shail be made' and does not state that the owner shall wait until both streets are paved, or have local im- provements upon them. Although Judge Lavell did not commit himself, when reserving his decision, he intimated that he thought that some reduction should be made. Mr. Rigney stated that {f the reduction were made it would be paying less in proportion to his length of pavement than the other people nearby. Judge Lavell stated that when the Earl street work was done the matter could be readjust- ed. T. J. Lockart who owns a triangu- lar lot, claimed that his local im- provement assessment was too large, and when the map of the lot was studied by the two lawyers and the judge, it was decided to recommend that the assessment be reduced by one-third. ---------- All wish to live long, but not e called old.
