Ypsilanti Sidewalk Case Decided

The circuit court adjourned sine die Monday after trying one case.

Lucetta M. Witherspoon, of Ypsilanti, asked that the sidewalk tax of $43.15 assessed against her property in Ypsilanti in 1899 be set aside and was given such a decree.

It developed that the council had ordered a new sidewalk on Normal street and the sidewalk on Congress street repaired. The street commissioner had repaired the walk on Normal street and built a new walk on Congress street. The new walk being built where one was noticed to the owner for repair, there was nothing left to do but to set the tax aside.
