Syllabus

<p>Municipal Corporations — Public Improvements — Resolution oe Intention- — Scope—Sufficiency—Statutes. A resolution of intention to improve a number of streets by grading, constructing cement sidewalks, gutters and “drainage culverts and catch basins,” fairly informs the property owners, as required by Rem. 1915 Code, § 7892-10, of the “nature” of an improvement including a storm sewer six blocks long with five manholes, which was necessary for the proper drainage of the improvement, and the cost of which was less than six per cent of the cost of the entire improvement; especially where the diagram called for by the law was on file before the time for filing remonstrances had expired and indicated the exact nature of the proposed drainage system; since the law requires only that the “nature” of the improvement be set forth in general terms.</p> <p>Same. In such case, it is not necessary for the resolution to specifically direct the street committee to prepare the diagram so as to show the storm sewer and manholes and all the details, where the intention was that such details be shown by the diagram, and were in fact so shown.</p>
