106 Mich. 659 | Mich. | 1895
The purpose of this bill is to set aside a sewer tax assessed upon the lands of the complainants, upon the ground that it is void, and thus creates a cloud upon the titles.
“This is to certify that the board of public works of the city of Saginaw, Michigan, have assessed the sum of two thousand three hundred and twenty-three and 7-100 dollars, being the proportion of expense of constructing a main sewer on Mason street which, in the opinion of said board, a proper lateral sewer in the same street would amount to, upon the lots deemed to be benefited thereby; and said board further certify that they have assessed said sum of two thousand three hundred and twenty-three and 7-100 dollars upon the lots described upon the within roll, and that the amount of the assessment upon each lot is set opposite the description thereof; that said lots are by said board deemed to be benefited by the construction of said sewer, and that said lots are all the lots and property, through or near which said sewer was laid, benefited thereby; and that said assessment has been made upon said lots in proportion to the benefit derived by them, respectively.”
It is not necessary that the exact language of the charter should be used. It is sufficient if the language of the certificate be such that the facts required to be certified may fairly be inferred. The certificate shows the
Decree affirmed, with costs.
