Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>Paving — Addition to City — “A Block” — Special Assessments to Center of Block. An addition to a city of the second class was platted into parcels that were 1296 feet long and 409.5 feet wide, the ends of which abutted upon a street that was about to be paved. The assessment for the pavement was extended by the city authorities to the center of the tract abutting on the street. 'In a controversy as to the validity of the assessment it is held that the addition must be regarded as platted land, and as the tract in question in the addition is surrounded by streets it is held that it constitutes a block within the meaning of the statute relating to assessments, although it is much larger than other blocks within the city, and therefore the extension of the assessment to the center of the block is adjudged to be valid.</p>
