Kuester v. City of Chicago
Illinois Supreme Court
Writ of Error to the County Court of Cook county; the Hon. Richard Yates, Judge, presiding.
1Opinion of the CourtJustice Carter

The ordinance provided that the curb-stones should be firmly bedded on flat stones. The fiat stones were not otherwise described in the ordinance. We have held in numerous cases that such an ordinance is defective because of the insufficiency of the description of the stones upon which the curb-stones are to be bedded. See Lusk v. City of Chicago, 176 Ill. 207, Foss v. City of Chicago, 184 id. 436, and other cases.
