<p>Road law — Widening streets — Damages—Benefits—Act of May 20, 1891, P. L. 101.</p> <p>In a proceeding to assess damages for land taken by á city to widen a street, the benefits and special advantages which may accrue to the part or tract of land not taken or injured by the improvement, must be taken into consideration in determining the difference in value before and after the appropriation. Where land has been so appropriated and used, there is no reason why the damages to the property may not be reduced or entirely overcome by the benefits which may have accrued to it.</p>
