Syllabus

<p>Street Assessment — Construction of Statute.—Under §3 of the Act of April 1st, 1872, (Stat. 1871-2, p. 804) the Board of Supervisors of San Francisco had the power to order the construction of a sewer, or other street improvement, extending through two or more streets.</p> <p>Id.—Appeal.—In an action upon a street assessment, it appeared that an appeal had been taken from the assessment, which had been dismissed upon the report of the City and County Attorney; but it did not appear that any testimony was offered by the party appealing. Held, that this was consistent with the fact that the only matter urged on the appeal was a question of law, and did not show that the appeal was improperly dismissed.</p> <p>Id.—Contract—Time—Appeal.—Held further, in the same action, that the assessment was void, because the work was not completed within the time specified in the contract; and that it was not made valid by the appeal.</p>
