New Decision labels foot-front rule unconstitutional
Judge Archbald supplements the Levers case ruling, deeming the foot-front assessment method invalid when it ignores actual benefits. Mrs. Levers on Lafayette and Decker faced dual frontage taxes, while others on Main avenue were exempted after sewer costs. The decision nullifies the city’s judgment request and cites Norwood, Loeb, and related cases to support invalidating the method under the Fourteenth Amendment. City solicitor Vosburg filed exceptions.
