Syllabus

<p>Road law — Unauthorized improvement of streets try lot owners.</p> <p>The control of streets or roads and the grades and changes made thereon are not to be determined by the abutting owners but are by statute placed under the control of the local municipal authorities. It follows that an abutting owner has no right to take possession of a public road or street and change its grade without authority from the body having it under statutory control and when such action is taken a right of action enures to other abutting owners.</p>
