Administrative Adjudication and Rule-Making
The Londoner v. Denver (1908) and Bi-Metallic (Holmes, 1915) Paradigm
The Question in Londoner v. Denver:
qThe Denver city council enacted the ordinance of assessment whose validity is to be determined in this case. The facts out of which the question on this assignment arises may be compressed into small compass. The first step in the assessment proceedings was by the certificate of the board of public works of the cost of the improvement and a preliminary apportionment of it.
