<p>Mechanics’ liens — Grading and sodding yard — Acts of June 16,1836, P. L. 695, and June 4,1901, sec. 2, P. L. 431 — Constitutional law.</p> <p>Under the Act of June 16, 1836, P. L. 695, a mechanic’s lien cannot be filed for grading and sodding a yard surrounding a suburban house in course of erection, and for planting trees along the sidewalk in front of it; nor can such a lien be sustained under sec. 2 of the Act of June 4, 1901, P. L. 431, inasmuch as a construction of the act that would permit such a lien to be filed would render its second section unconstitutional as in conflict with sec. 7, art. Ill, of the constitution.</p>
