Syllabus

<p>Contract for Street Work—Fixing Time for Completion.—Under Statutes of 1885, page 151, section 6, which authorizes a superintendent of streets to enter into a written contract for grading or other street work, and requires him to fix the time for the commencement and for the completion of the work under all contracts, a fixing of the time for the commencement of work under a contract at “within fifteen days from the date thereof,” and for its completion at one hundred and eighty days “thereafter,” makes the time for the completion dependent on the time of actual commencement, and is not such a compliance with the statute as entitles the contractor to enforce assessments for the work.</p>
