Syllabus

<p>Municipal Corporations — Public Improvements — Injunction— Remedy at Law. The granting of a permanent injunction at the suit of a property owner against the letting of a contract for a public improvement was not warranted, where the property owner had an adequate remedy under the statutes (3 Rem. & Bal. Code, §§ 7892-21, 7892-22), giving a right to file an objection to the assessment roll, and, in the event of its overruling by the city authorities, granting the right of appeal to the superior and supreme courts.</p> <p>Municipal Corporations — Public Improvements — Assessments— Limitation. The statutory provision that the estimated cost of a proposed improvement initiated by resolution shall not exceed fifty per cent of the valuation of the real estate exclusive of improvements thereon, being limited to cities of the first class (3 Rem. & Bal. Code, § 7892-12), is of no avail as to cities other than the first class.</p>
