Syllabus

<p>Municipal claims — Macadamizing streets — Rural property — Root-front rule.</p> <p>The foot-front rule of assessment for improvements is not applicable to rural properly, but when the land ceases to be farm land and becomes city land, property owners are liable for improvements. Whether this change has taken place in a particular locality is a question of fact to be determined by the jury.</p>
