<p>Road law—Change of grade—Mistalce of city surveyor—Right of action— Damages—Effect of transfer of property.</p> <p>Where a city regulator or surveyor gives a wrong grade to a property owner and the latter builds according to the grade given to him, and thereafter conveys the property to another, the grantee of the property has no right of action against the city when the natural grade is changed to conform to the legal grade. In such a case if a right of action existed in the original owner against the city such right did not run with the land.</p>
