Syllabus

<p>Municipal Corporations — Improvements — Assessments — Defenses. Upon objection to the assessment of property, it is immaterial that it has been assessed in large amounts for other improvements.</p> <p>Same — Assessments—Proceedings—Objections—Time for Making. An objection that an improvement was not initiated by a petition or with the consent of property owners comes too late when first made on objecting to the assessment roll to pay the damages awarded in the condemnation proceedings.</p> <p>Same — Assessments—Apportionment to General Fund — Appeal —Review. An apportionment by eminent domain commissioners of 12.5 per cent of the cost of condemnation for an arterial street to the general fund, cannot be disturbed on appeal, where there was no evidence that a different sum would have been more equitable, the matter was largely one of opinion, and there was no agreement between the testimony of the witnesses.</p>
