Syllabus
<p>Eminent Domain — Grade oe Street — “Damaging” oe Property —Compensation—Remedies—Injunction. A city in making the original grade of a street, has no right to extend the foot of the fill upon abutting property, or in making a cut, to construct the slope thereon; since it would be a “damaging” of private property without just compensation having been first paid into court, within •Const., art. 1, §16; and injunction is the proper remedy to prevent the same, if the damages are substantial.</p>
