U.S. Supreme Court: Indiana City's Resolution Discharging Outstanding Sewer Assessments Constitutional

The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of an Indiana city's decision to discharge sewer assessments for installment plan payers while denying refunds to those who paid the assessment in a lump sum because the city had a legitimate interest in controlling administrative costs and the distinction did not involve a suspect classification.
