delivered the opinion of the court.
With the exception that this case relates to a different street in the same locality, the issues therein are identical with those in the case of Portland v. Tigard, 64 Or. 404 (129 Pac. 755), the opinion in which was filed this day. Reference is made to the said opinion for the statement of facts and the points decided. On the appeal in this case one additional error in the admission of testimony of J. L. Pettinger, who was called as an expert witness, is relied on.
