Syllabus

<p>Road law — Damages—Benefits—Striking off lien for benefits.</p> <p>Where a jury of view assess benefits against a landowner for the grading, paving and curbing of a street, and a municipal lien is filed for the benefits, such lien is properly stricken off where it appears that the property owner took an appeal from the report of viewers, and secured a verdict in his own favor for damages largely in excess of the benefits assessed, and that the only question submitted to the jury was whether the market value of the property immediately after the improvement was greater or less than its value immediately before the improvement.</p>
