Syllabus

<p>Street Improvements — Validity of Contract.—A contract for street improvements providing that all loss or damage arising from the nature of the work to be done under the agreement, or from any unforeseen obstruction or difficulties which may be encountered in the prosecution of the work, etc., shall be sustained by the contractor, is void as tending to increase the cost of the work, and is therefore insufficient to support an assessment for work done thereunder.1</p>
