Syllabus

<p>Street Assessment—Grading—Jurisdiction—Construction oe Statute.—Under section 4 of the act of April 1st, 1872 (Statutes 1871-72, pp. 805, 806), all street works referred to in the act may be ordered by the Board of Supervisors without a petition, except grading, but as to grading a petition is always required, except in the case where the street has been graded, or graded and macadamized, or graded and paved, for the distance of two or more blocks upon each side thereof of any one or more blocks or crossings of a street which is not improved. The proviso “that when one half or more of the grading, etc., of any one street lying between two main street crossings has been already performed, the Board of Supervisors may order the remainder of such grading, etc., notwithstanding the objection of any or all of the property-owners,” does not dispense with the necessity of a petition.</p>
