A correspondent of The rimes, wii i offers his lamentations over the sigr&ture of "Quo Vadis," calis attentio-i to the fact fchat the sewer assessrnents iu tbe sevêral sewer dístricts vrtry fi'om $12.00 iu district No. 2 to $49.42 for $1,000 u district No. 7, and, evidfntly In dense ig-norance of the eonditidiis whieh eaused tfiis differnce, jumps to the conclusión that some one has been vronged. We a jumped advisedly for there is nothing la the learned correspondent's disr course to warrant that conclusión. It may not have oecurrod to "Quo"' that the rate per ihousaiid otf a sewcv assessment is determined by a eomparison oE the cost of constrnetion vvith the assessed valuation of the property upon whlch fchat cost is levicd. It does not require a vcry extensive knowledge of matheinatics to enable one to understand that wiili a flxed cost of conslniclion the rate jier Iliousand will be high or low according to the value of the property tissessed. In the Washington street district, where the values aro unifor:ily üigh, the rate of assessment is oiriy $12.fíO per tliousand.' In the 7th district. where the valuation averages about ?r.00 per lof. the ruto is $49.42. And there Is nat even a sceir.ing injusflce in tliis. Each district paid for ju-t wbat it got. The owner of a 500 lot In tho "tli district which was assessed at the mte of S49.42, paid $24.71 for hls sewei1, whlle the owner of a lot valued at $2.000 in the Washington strèet district paid $25.20 for the sa r.e service. Ott the wholo the 7th distrtci househokler has a litlle the best of it, If this explanation does not appear sufficient to "Qno" he is respeeöfully referred to the files of the Washtenaw Times for January 2ö. 1897, where the subject is fully disonssed.
