Smith, through her attorney, Gilson Brown, sets up 'a list of reasons why the assessment roll for the paving would not be confirmed. She urges that the benefits charged to her are far out of proportion of what the true benefits are. She takes up legal points In the official documents filed which she claims are irregular.

It said today by Judge Yager that he would set the case down for a hearing on a date when another judge could be had to try the objections. He said that he understood that inasmuch as he is also a member of the Alton Parks Commission-find therefore is in a way interested in the paving through the parks being heavily assessed, he would not be expected to try the case, and that the information to that effect had been imparted to him.
