Syllabus

<p>(a) A city street was opened on such a location as to be more or less injurious to the plaintiffs property, according as it was or was not considered, in the ascertainment of damages, in connection with another city street laid out on an old approved plan but hitherto unopened:</p> <p>1. Damages are assessed for the opening, not for the laying out of streets; and the damages to which the plaintiff was entitled were to be determined by considering the effect upon the property of the opened street alone, and not in connection with the street yet unopened.</p>
