1Opinion of the Court
Opinion by
Me. Chief Justice Mooee.
This is an appeal by the defendant from a decree enjoining the enforcement of that part of a special assessment which undertook to impose upon the several tracts of real property in a designated district, asserted to have been benefited by a street improvement, the following charges: For engineering, $350; for interest, $108.37; for an abstract, $15.75; and for clerical work, $21.81. The question to be considered is whether either of these items constitutes a valid charge against the real property affected by the improvement.
