These cases arise upon the same proceeding. It was an application by the collector of the city of Chicago, at the March term, 1871, of the Superior Court, for judgment upon a special assessment warrant, in a proceeding to widen an alley from Clark Street to La Salle Street—running east and west through block 117, school section addition to Chicago.
We have examined the several points made, and perceive no ground for reversal, except as to one point, viz; the want of authority in the city collector to apply for judgment. His authority in this behalf had been abrogated by the new constitution. Hills v.
