Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Paving Street — Resolution by City Council — Protest Must be Filed within Twenty Days after Resolution is Passed. When the mayor and council of a city of the second class have duly passed and published a resolution that it is necessary to pave, macadamize and curb a certain street of the city, and the resident owners of property liable to taxation therefor do not, within twenty days after the last publication thereof, protest against such improvement, then the city has power to cause such improvement to be made.</p> <p>2. SameI — Jurisdiction to Make Improvement Not Lost by Nine Months’ Delay. A delay of nine months after such publication does not deprive the city of jurisdiction to proceed with the improvement, even if a majority of the owners of property liable to taxation therefor shall, before the passage of an ordinance to proceed therewith, protest against such improvement.</p>
