Syllabus

<p>Municipal Corporations — Street Improvements — Assessments— Appeal — Review. Tbe limits of a special assessment district fixed by tbe commission, and tbe amount taxed against the general fund, will not be disturbed on appeal, where tbe limits do not appear to be unreasonable and tbe entire cost might have been assessed against tbe property.</p> <p>Same — Findings—Review. A special assessment will not be disturbed as unequal or unjust, where it rests upon opinion and tbe evidence is conflicting.</p> <p>Same — Assessment — Interest on Confirmation — Award. Interest upon an award on condemnation of property needed for a street improvement may be included as part of the cost of the improvement to be assessed against the property benefited.</p> <p>Same — Award — Verdict — Effect — Assessment for Benefits. Upon condemnation of property needed for a street improvement, a verdict for the value of land taken, reciting that the remainder of the lot is not damaged by reason of the taking, precludes the claim that an award of damages was made therefor.</p> <p>Same — Assessments—Exemptions—Lands Not Taken — Eminent Domain — Verdict. Where the verdict for the value of land taken for a street improvement recites that the remainder was not damaged by the taking, the same is not exempt from assessment for special benefits as it would have been if found to be damaged by the taking.</p>
