Syllabus

<p>Road law — Boroughs—Action of borough council — Widening of street— Change of grade — Appointment of viewers — Act of May 24, 1878, P. L. 129.</p> <p>1. A mere motion adopted at a meeting of a borough council “that the building line” of a street named “be moved two feet west,” without more, furnishes no warrant for application for the appointment of viewers under the Act of May 24, 1878, P. L. 129, or any other act.</p> <p>2. If after the adoption of such a motion, an owner of land on the street voluntarily applies for a permit authorizing her to dig up the street for the purpose of malting a sidewalk along her property, and upon this permit being granted she puts backs her fence and makes her pavement, such action on her part affords no ground for the appoint- ' ment of viewers.</p>
