<p>Street Assessment—Boundaries op District—Description in Resolution op Intention—Angles and Directions Controlled by Streets and Fixed Points.—In determining the validity of a street assessment, the boundaries of the assessment district fixed by the resolution of intention will not be construed as not including a definite piece of land, merely because the calls for the angles and directions of the lines are at variance with the calls for streets and fixed points upon them, but the streets will be considered as monuments controlling the angles which they or their parallels are supposed to make with each other, and a fixed point on a street will control the direction of a line supposed to be parallel with another street, and it is sufficient if a surveyor, by rejecting the erroneous calls for angles and directions, can definitely locate the boundaries of the assessment district by means of the streets and fixed points upon them.</p>
