<p>Street Improvement—Resolution of Intention—Description of Work. Under section 3 of the Street Improvement Act of 1891 (Stats. 1891, p. 196), the resolution of intention of the city council must describe the work; and a resolution of intention which describes the work as consisting of the construction of “granite or artificial stone curbing” in a specified street is insufficient to confer jurisdiction on the council to order the work done.</p> <p>Id.—Defense to Assessment—Appeal to Citt Council.—A property owner, in order to defend against an action brought to enforce an assessment purporting to be based on such resolution of intention, is not required by the statute to appeal to the city council.</p>
