By the Court :

An assessment for the improvement of a street is a municipal tax, and the property owner is brought into relations with the proceedings which are initiated by the resolution of intention, only when the tax is levied; that is to say, when the assessment is made and issued.

The assessment was issued after the death of H. M. Whittemore. The tax thus assessed did not constitute a claim against the estate of H. M. Whittemore which was required to be presented for allowance. (People v. Olvera, 43 Cal. 492.)

Judgment affirmed.
