It will come up at the fall term of the federal court. The front foot paving law has been declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of the United States, in a case whicn arose in Ohio. I ne ae- cision has been followed by the state courts in one or two states, but this is the first time the case has come before the federal court in Iowa. The ground for the petition is the claim that the front foot valuation of street improvements is unconstitutional. The Supreme Court ruling is that assessments shall he made In proportion to the benefits accruing to each piece of property from the improvements.

Clark declares that no attempt was ever made to ascertain the value of the paving to his prop erty, an ddemands that this be made and the assessment made according iy. ECHOES OF THE STATE HOUSE. Various Notes Pertaining to Iowa and i Its Affairs. Des Moines, Aug. 7.
