SOME PROBLEMS IN SPECIAL ASSESSMENT DISTRICT OBLIGATIONS

Authors

Irvin Long, Member of Detroit, Michigan BarFollow

Abstract

The question of the jurisdiction of a board or officer authorized to construct a local improvement and levy special assessments therefor has always been troublesome, and is particularly so when bonds or other obligations are issued in anticipation of the collection of such assessments. A vast amount of litigation has occurred in Michigan in recent years over drain district assessments, and bonds which such districts have issued. While this is of primary interest to Michigan lawyers and investors in public securities, many of the questions involved seem to be of such a general nature, so far as special assessment procedure is concerned, as to warrant a consideration by lawyers elsewhere.
