In re Shilshole Avenue
Washington Supreme Court
Cross-appeals from a judgment of the superior court for King county, French, J., entered September 29, 1914<, authorizing the levy of an assessment upon property specially benefited by a public improvement.
1Opinion of the CourtEllis, J.
This case involves an assessment roll, made by the eminent domain commissioners of the city of Seattle, to pay the damages resulting from the raising of the grade of Shilshole avenue and the incidental change of the grades of other streets and avenues and approaches thereto.
To avoid confusion, it must be borne in mind throughout that it is not the physical fill nor any benefits that might accrue from the actual construction of the regrade, but only the assessment to pay damages awarded in the condemnation proceeding for the change of grade, which is here involved.
