Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Levees — Bight of Eminent Domain. The construction of a levee along the bank of a river is a public use, in aid of which the power of eminent domain may be invoked and local assessments may be levied.</p> <p>2. --Constitutionality of the Act of 1893. Chapter 101, Laws of 1893 (Gen. Stat. 1901, §§3905-3919), relating to the construction of levees, is not unconstitutional either on the ground that it delegates legislative power to the petitioners, or on the ground that there is a discrimination against railroad companies in its method of providing for the cost of the improvements.</p>
