Goodell v. City of Clinton

LeGRAND, Justice.

This is a consolidated appeal by 24 dissatisfied property owners who challenge assessments made against them for paving a portion of Second Avenue South in the City of Clinton. The trial court entered a decree reducing all assessments by 40 percent. The City appeals, claiming the assessments as made were correct and should be reinstated. The property owners cross-appeal, asserting that the assessments, even as reduced, far exceed the benefits which their individual properties enjoy as a result of the special improvement. We affirm the trial court on both appeals.
