The substance of the complaint is set out in the statement of facts. The principal charge is that defendants are about to interfere with a part of a public street and that the village board is acting under a petition in so doing. There are no allegations in the complaint going to show that
Stress is placed upon tbe allegations of tbe complaint to tbe effect that tbe village board “intend to, and threaten to, at once after tbe completion of said curb and gutter, direct and compel plaintiff to build a six-foot cement sidewalk north of said curb and compel him to place tbe same inside of and north of tbe present and true street line and upon bis residence lot, and that in order to so build tbe same plaintiff will be deprived, without due process of law and without compensation, of a strip of land six feet wide and about 100 feet long.” Tbe plain inference from tbe pleading is that if tbe plaintiff is compelled to build tbe walk it will be under legal procedure regularly instituted and carried on. He cannot be compelled to build otherwise, and there is no allegation
But it seems wholly unnecessary to discuss the question. The complaint is barren of facts sufficient to entitle the plaintiff to equitable relief, and therefore the demurrer waa properly sustained.
By the Gourt. — The order appealed from is affirmed.
