Syllabus

<p>Municipal Corporations — Improvements—Assessments—Appeal —Transcript—Jurisdiction. Since tbe right of appeal from the city council in local assessment proceedings is statutory, and must be taken in the manner specified by law, the superior court acquires no jurisdiction on an appeal from an order of the council confirming an assessment, where the transcript did not contain “the record of the council with reference to the assessment,” as required by 3 Rem. & Bal. Code, § 7892-22, providing the manner and time for taking the appeal, especially in view of Id., § 7892-23, making the judgment conclusive on all persons unless the appeal is taken “in the time and within the manner in this act provided.”</p> <p>Same — Assessments—Appeal—Transcript—Amendment. On appeal from the city council confirming the assessment roll, since the filing of the transcript within ten days is necessary to confer jurisdiction, the transcript is not thereafter amendable by a supplemental transcript.</p>
