 Lines of pipes to be laid at such times and in such streets, or 
 parts thereof, as the Board of Trustees, or their Engineer, 
 shall direct. 
 
 In digging trenches, the surface covering of improved streets 
 shall be carefully removed and deposited in such a manner as 
 not to be mixed with the deeper excavations, and not to ob- 
 struct necessarily the streets. 
 
 The remaining materials to be excavated shall be deposited 
 on one side, and, at least, two feet from the edge of the trench. 
 
 All trenches shall be excavated in advance of the pipe lay- 
 ing as far, and only as far, as required by the Board or their 
 Engineer. The trenches shall be dug of sufficient width, and 
 joint holes shall be dug at the bell end of each pipe, of suffi- 
 cient depth to allow of convenient access to the joint upon all 
 sides, and the trenches shall be kept clear and free from water, 
 or cavings, until the pipes are laid and calked. 
 
 No pipes shall be laid less thanfive and one-half feet from 
 the surface, unless otherwise ordered by the Board of Trustees. 
 
 All connections of water pipes, specials and fixtures, to be 
 made with lead joints in the most careful manner, as follows: 
 The pipes having first been swabbed out clean ; after the pipes 
 have been put in place there will be first used a sufficient quan- 
 tity of sound rope gasket, properly driven into either the hub 
 or sleeve, as the case may be, to a good and hard seat around 
 said pipes, or spigot end, and in said hub or sleeve ; then there 
 will be poured into and on said gasket moulten lead, to be, 
 when cold, not less than two inches in depth, extending into 
 the hub or sleeve, after which, the joint so made shall be calk- 
 ed in the most perfect manner, the said joints completed to 
 remain water tight for the space of one year from the accept- 
 ance of the work, as hereafter provided. 
 
 The back filling shall be carefully done, by ramming the 
 earth or sand under or around the said pipes and connections,

 giving them a good and suitable bearing, the remainder of the 
 trench to be filled in layers and thoroughly rammed, or thor- 
 oughly wet with water; surplus earth remaining shall be re- 
 moved by the contractor and deposited in such places as will 
 be directed by the Board, or their Engineer, or be spread uni- 
 formly over the surface of the street, as the Engineer may 
 direct. 
 
 In improved streets, after the trench has been thoroughly 
 filled, and had time to settle, all surface material removed shall 
 be carefully replaced, so as to leave the street in as good con- 
 dition as before the trench was dug. 
 
 When culverts or drains are disturbed, the contractor shall 
 be required to restore them to their original, or to as good a 
 state, in all respects, as they were in before being disturbed, 
 -without any extra charge therefor. In all cases, when bracing 
 to prevent caving of the banks is necessary, the contractor 
 shall make no extra charge therefor. 
 
 The contractor shall be liable for all damages occasioned by 
 the digging up, use, or occupancy of any street, or public 
 ground, or which may result from the carelessness of such con- 
 tractor, his agents, employees or workmen, or from neglect to 
 maintain suitable barriers and signals of warning, by night or 
 by day. 
 
 The contractor will be required to keep in good repair and 
 condition, for six months after the completion of his work, all 
 streets, pavements, and surfaces, so far as they may settle or 
 otherwise be injured in the consequence of defective work, or 
 backfilling said trenches, and restoring said streets, pavements 
 and surfaces. 
 
 Pipes for putting in fire hydrants, shall be laid by the con- 
 tractor whenever required, and shall be paid for at the same 
 rate as for pipes of the size used for the hydrant connections. 
 
 After the pipes have been laid and connected together in 
 the trenches, together with all valves, hydrants and specials of 
 every kind required to complete the pipes, or mains, for use as

 intended, for fire or domestic service, there will be a test made 
 by hydraulic pressure, not to exceed 175 pounds to the square 
 inch, which test will be constantly applied, until all of the 
 pipes, valves, hydrants and specials, are found to maintain 
 safely the direct pressure of 175 pounds to the square inch.

 SECTION 1. That the corporate authorities of cities and vil- 
 lages are hereby vested with power to make local improvements 
 by special assessment or by special taxation, or both, of con- 
 tiguous property, or general taxation, or otherwise, as they 
 shall by ordinance prescribe. 
 
 SEC. 2. When any such city or village shall, by ordinance, 
 provide for the making of any local improvement, it shall by 
 the same ordinance prescribe whether the same shall be made 
 by special assessment or by special taxation of contiguous 
 property, or general taxation, or both. 
 
 SEC. 3. Should said ordinance provide for improvements 
 which require the taking or damaging of property, the proceed- 
 ing for making just compensation therefor shall be as follows : 
 
 SEC. 4. Whenever any such ordinance shall be passed by the 
 legislative authority of any such city or village, for the making 
 of any improvement mentioned in the first section of this Act, 
 or any other local improvement that such city or village is au- 
 thorized to make, the making of which will require that private 
 property be taken or damaged for public use, such city or vil- 
 lage shall file a petition in some court of record of the county 
 in which such city is situated, in the name of the city, praying 
 that " the just compensation to be made for private property to
 
 184 SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS. 
 
 be taken or damaged for the improvement or purpose specified 
 in such ordinance shall be ascertained by a jury." 
 
 SEC. 5. Such petition shall contain a copy of the said ordi- 
 nance, certified by the clerk, under the corporate seal ; a rea- 
 sonably accurate description of the lots, parcels of land, and 
 property which will be taken or damaged, and the names of the 
 owners and occupants thereof, so far as known to the board or 
 officer filing the petition, and where any known owners are non- 
 residents of the State, stating the fact of such non-residence. 
 
 SEC. 6. Upon the filing of the petition aforesaid, a sum- 
 mons, which may be made returnable upon any day in term 
 time, shall be issued and served upon the persons made parties 
 defendant, as in cases in chancery. And in case any of them 
 are unknown, or reside out of this State, or on due inquiry 
 cannot be found, the clerk of the court, upon an affidavit being 
 filed showing such fact, shall cause publication to be made in 
 some newspaper printed in his county, or if there be no news- 
 paper published in his county, then in some newspaper 
 published in this State, containing notice of the pendency of 
 such proceeding, the parties thereto, the title of the court, and 
 the time and place of the return of the summons in the case, 
 and the nature of said proceeding ; such publication to be made 
 for four weeks consecutively, at least once in each week, the 
 first of which shall be at least thirty days before the return 
 day of such summons. Notices so given by publication shall 
 be sufficient to authorize the court to hear and determine the 
 suit, as though all parties had been sued by their proper names 
 and had been personally served. 
 
 SEC. 7. Upon the return of said summons, or as soon there- 
 after as the. business of the court will permit, the said court 
 shall proceed to the hearing of such petition, and shall impanel 
 a jury to ascertain the just compensation to be paid to all of 
 such owners and occupants aforesaid. 
 
 But if any defendant or party in interest shall demand, or 
 the court shall deem it proper, separate juries may de impan-
 
 SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS. 185 
 
 eled as to the compensation or damages to be paid to any one 
 or more of such defendants or parties in interest. [As amended 
 by act in force March 30, 1874.] 
 
 SEC. 8. Such jury shall also ascertain the just compensa- 
 tion to be paid to any person claiming an interest in any lot, 
 parcel of land or property which may be taken or damaged by 
 such improvement, whether or not such person's name, or such 
 lot, parcel of land, or other property, is mentioned or described 
 in such petition ; Provided, such person shall first be admitted 
 as a party defendant to said suit by such court, and shall file 
 a statement of his interest in, and description of the lot, parcel 
 of land, or other property in respect to which he claims com- 
 pensation. 
 
 SEC. 9. The court may, upon the motion of such city or 
 village, or of any person claiming any such compensation, direct 
 that said jury (under the charge of an officer of the court) shall 
 view the premises which it is claimed by any party to said pro- 
 ceeding will be taken or damaged by said improvement, and in 
 any case, where there is no sasisfactory evidence given to the 
 jury as to the ownership of, or as to the extent of the interest 
 of any defendant in the property to be taken or damaged, the 
 jury may return their verdict as to the compensation or dam- 
 age to be paid for the property or part of property to be taken 
 or damaged, and for the entire interests therein. [As amended 
 by act in force March 30, 1874.] 
 
 SEC. 10. Upon the return of such verdict, the court shall 
 order the same to be recorded, and shall enter such judgment 
 or decree thereon as the nature of the case may require. The 
 court shall continue or adjourn the cause, from time to time, 
 as to all occupants and owners named in such petition who 
 shall not have been served with process, or brought in by 
 publication, and shall order a new summons to issue and new 
 publication to be made; and upon such occupants or owners 
 being brought into court, shall impanel a jury to ascertain the 
 compensation so to be paid to such defendant or defendants, 
 for private property taken or damaged ; and like proceeding
 
 186 SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS. 
 
 shall be had for such purpose as hereinbefore provided for the 
 ascertaining of compensation to other owners. 
 
 SEC. 11. The court shall have power, at any time, upon 
 proof that any such owner or owners named in such petition, 
 who has not been served with process, has ceased to be such 
 owner or owners since the filing of such petition, to impanel a 
 jury and ascertain the just compensation to be made for the 
 property (or the damage thereto) which had been owned by the 
 person or persons so ceasing to own the same ; and the court 
 may, upon any finding or findings of any jury or juries, or at 
 any time during the course of such proceedings, enter such 
 order, rule, judgment or decree as the nature of the case may 
 require. 
 
 SEC. 12. No delay in making an assessment of compensa- 
 tion shall be occasioned by any doubt or contest which may 
 arise as to the ownership of the property, or any part thereof, 
 or as to the interests of the respective owners or claimants, but 
 in such case the court may impanel a jury and ascertain the 
 entire compensation or damage that should be paid for the 
 property, or part of property, and the entire interests of all 
 parties therein, and may require adverse claimants to inter- 
 plead so as to fully determine their rights and interests in the 
 compensation so ascertained. And the court may make such 
 order as may be necessary in regard to the deposit or payment 
 of such compensation. 
 
 SEC. 13. When it shall appear, from said petition or other- 
 wise, at any time during the proceedings upon such petition, 
 that any infant, or insane or distracted person, is interested in 
 any property that is to be taken or damaged, the court shall ap- 
 point a guardian, ad titem, for such infant or insane or distracted 
 person, to appear and defend for him, her or them ; and the 
 court shall make such order or decree as it shall deem proper 
 to protect and secure the interest of such infant, or insane or 
 distracted person^ in such property, or the compensation which 
 shall be awarded therefor.
 
 SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS. 187 
 
 SEC. 14. Any final judgment or judgments, rendered by 
 said court, upon any finding or findings of any jury or juries, 
 shall be a lawful and sufficient condemnation of the land or 
 property to be taken upon the payment of the amount of such 
 finding as hereinafter provided. It shall be final and conclu- 
 sive as to the damages caused by such improvement, unless 
 such judgment or judgments shall be appealed from ; but no 
 appeal or writ of error upon the same shall delay proceedings 
 under said ordinance, if such city or village shall deposit, as 
 directed by the court, the amount of the judgment and costs, 
 and shall file a bond in the court in which such judgment was 
 rendered, in a sum to be fixed and with security to be approv- 
 ed by the judge of said court, which shall secure the payment 
 of any future compensation which may at any time be finally 
 awarded to such party so appealing or suing out such writ of 
 error, and his or her costs. 
 
 SEC. 15 The Court, upon proof that said just compensation 
 so found by the jury has been paid to the person entitled there- 
 to, or has been deposited as directed by the court (and bond giv- 
 en, in case of any appeal or writ of error,) shall enter an order 
 that the city or village shall have the right, at any time there- 
 after, to take possession of or damage the property, in respect 
 to which such compensation shall have been so paid or depos- 
 ited, as aforesaid. 
 
 SEC. 16. When the ordinance under which said improve- 
 ment is ordered to be made, shall provide that such improve- 
 ment shall be made by general taxation, the cost of such im- 
 provement shall be added to the general appropriation bill of 
 such city or village, and shall be levied and collected with and 
 as a part of the general taxes of such city or village. 
 
 SEC. 17. When said ordinance under which said local im- 
 provement shall be ordered shall provide tbat such improvement 
 shall be made by special taxation of contiguous property, the 
 same shall be levied, assessed and collected in the way provided 
 in the sections of this act providing for the mode of making, 
 levying, assessing and collecting special assessments.
 
 188 SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS. 
 
 (a) See Act of 1872, entitled "Eminent Domain," and 
 notes thereto. 
 
 (b) Mandamus may be awarded to compel a city to collect 
 such taxes and assessments, Higgim vs. Chicago, 18 111. R., 
 276, and an action on the case will lie against the city for fail- 
 ure to collect and pay over damages assessed on condemnation. 
 Claybury vs. Chicago, 25 111. R., 535. 
 
 SEC. 18. When the ordinance under which said local im- 
 provement is ordered to be made shall provide that such im- 
 provement shall be wholly or in part made by special assess- 
 ment, the proceedings for the making such special assessment 
 shall be in accordance with the sections of this act [Article] 
 from eighteen to fifty -one inclusive. 
 
 SEC. 19. Whenever such local improvements are to be made 
 wholly or in part by special assessment, the said council in cities, 
 or board of trustees in villages, shall pass an ordinance to that 
 effect, specifying therein the nature, character, locality and de- 
 scription of such improvement : Provided, That whenever 
 any such ordinance sha 1 provide only for the building or re- 
 newing of any sidewalk, the owner of any lot or piece of land 
 fronting on such sidewalk shall be allowed fifteen days after 
 the time at which such ordinance shall take effect in which to 
 build or renew such sidewalk opposite his land, and thereby 
 relieve the same from assessment : Provided, That the work 
 so to be done shall in all respects conform to the requirements 
 of such ordinance, 
 
 SEC. 20. The city council or board of trustees shall appoint 
 three of its members, or any other three competent persons, 
 who shall make an estimate of the cost of the improvement 
 contemplated by such ordinance, including labor, materials, 
 and all other expenses attending the same, and the cost of mak- 
 ing and levying the assessment, and shall report the same in 
 writing to said council or board of trustees. 
 
 SEC. 21. On such report being made and approved by the 
 council, or board of trustees, as the case may be, it may order
 
 SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS. 189 
 
 a petition to be filed by such officer as it shall direct, in the 
 county court of its county, for proceedings to assess the cost of 
 such improvement in the manner provided in this act. 
 
 SEC. 22. The petition shall be in the name of the corpora- 
 tion, and shall recite the ordinance for the proposed improve- 
 ment, and the report of such commission, and shall pray that 
 the cost of such improvement may be assessed in the manner 
 prescribed by law. 
 
 SEC. 23. Upon the filing of such petition the court shall 
 appoint three competent persons as commissioners, who shall 
 take and subscribe an oath, in substance as follows, to-wit : 
 
 " STATE OF ILLINOIS, \ 
 County. | bk 
 
 " We the undersigned commissioners, appointed by the county 
 
 court of county, to assess the cost of (here state in 
 
 general terms the improvement,) do solemnly swear (or affirm, as the 
 case may be,) that we will a true and impartial assessment make of 
 
 the cost of said improvement upon the city (or village) of , 
 
 and the property benefited by such improvement, to the best of our 
 ability, and according to law." 
 
 SEC. 24. It shall be the duty ot such commissioners to ex- 
 amine the locality where the improvement is proposed to be 
 made, and the lots, blocks, tracts and parcels of lands that will 
 be specially benefited thereby, and to estimate what proportion 
 of the total cost of such improvement will be of benefit to the 
 public, and what proportion thereof will be of benefit to the 
 property to be benefited ; aud apportion the same between the 
 city or village and such property, so that each shall bear its rel- 
 ative equitable proportion ; and having found said amounts, to 
 apportion and assess the amount so found to be of benefit to 
 the property, upon the several lots, blocks, tracts and parcels 
 of land in the proportion in which they will be severally bene- 
 fited by such improvement: Provided, That no lot, block, 
 tract or parcel of land shall be assessed a greater amount than 
 it will be actually benefited. And provided further, That it 
 shall not be necessary for said commissioners to examine the 
 locality except where the ordinance provides for the opening,
 
 190 SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS. 
 
 widening or improvement of streets and alleys, (as amended 
 by act approved and in force March 30, 1874.) 
 
 (a] See Sec. 9, Art. 9, Constitution of 1870. Prior to 
 this section it was decided that it was not necessary for the 
 commissioners to go upon the ground or streets sought to be 
 improved, and there investigate. Wright vs. Chicago, 48 111. 
 R., 285, and their judgment could not be impeached except by 
 fraud. (Elliot vs. Chicago, 48 111. R., 293 ; Chicago vs. Bur- 
 tice, 24 Id., 489.) 
 
 (5) Such assessments are not like taxes, a charge upon 
 property that reduces its value. (The Trustees $c., vs. Chi- 
 cago, 12 111. R., 403; Peoria vs. Kidder, 26 Id., 357.) 
 
 (<?) In all special assessments, there should be assessed on 
 each lot or tract the benefit it will derive from the improvement 
 charging such benefit : and the residue of the cost should be 
 paid by equal and uniform taxation. (Chicago vs. Lamed, 
 34 111. R., 203 ; Ottawa vs. Spencer, 40 Id., 211 ; Chicago 
 vs. Baer, 41 Id., 306 ; Bedard vs. Hall, 44 Id., 91 ; Holbrook 
 vs. Dickinson, 46 Id., 285.) And such special assessment is 
 void, where the whole cost of the improvement is put upon 
 property in proportion to the benefits exceeding the actual ben- 
 efits conferred. (St. John vs. East St. Louis, 50 111. R., 90.) 
 It is the same where contiguous property is taxed for improve- 
 ments under Sec- 17, ante. 
 
 (d] Church property exempt from general taxation is liable 
 to special assessments. (Ottawa vs. Trustees, $c., 22 111. R., 
 624.) So is property owned by a city. (Higgins vs. Chicago, 
 18 111. R., 281 ; Scammon vs. Chicago, 12 111. R., 193.) Or 
 by a street railroad. (Chicago vs. Baer, 41 111. R., 306.) 
 
 (e) Assessments must be for improvements to be made, and 
 not for those already completed. (Dorathy vs. Chicago, 53 111. 
 R., 79 ; Butsie Howell vs. Buffalo, 37 N. Y., R., 267.) 
 
 (/) An assessment collected, may be recovered back where 
 the improvement has been abandoned. (Bradford vs. Chicago,
 
 SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS. 191 
 
 25 111. R., 411 ; Cook Co. vs. Q. B. $ Q. R. R. Co., 35 111. 
 R., 466.) 
 
 (g) A great number of recent decisions, not yet reported, 
 on sundry points in relation to special assessments, should be 
 consulted. 
 
 (SEC. 25. Repealed by act approved April 25, 1873.) 
 
 SEC. 26. They shall also make or cause to be made an as- 
 sessment roll, in which shall appear the names of the owners, 
 so far as known, a description of each lot, block, tract or par- 
 cel of land, and the amount assessed as special benefits thereto; 
 and in which they shall set down as against the city or village 
 the amount they shall have found as public benefit, and certify 
 such assessment roll, to the court by which they were appointed, 
 at least ten days before the first day of the term at which a fi- 
 nal hearing thereon shall be had. 
 
 SEC. 27. It shall also be the duty of such commissioners to 
 give notice of such assessment, and of the term of court at which 
 a final hearing thereon will be had, in the following manner : 
 
 First. They shall send by mail to each owner of premises 
 assessed, whose name and place of residence is known to them, 
 a notice substantially in the following form : 
 
 " Mr. - - : 
 
 " Your (here give a short description of the premises) is as- 
 sessed $ for public improvement. The assessment roll will be re- 
 turned to the of the County Court of County. 
 
 (Here give date.) ~) 
 
 [ Commissioners." 
 
 ) 
 
 Second. They shall cause at least ten days' notice to be 
 given by posting notices in at least four public places in such 
 city or village, two of which shall be in the neighborhood of 
 such proposed improvement, and when a daily newspaper is 
 published in such city or village, by publishing the same at 
 least five successive days in such daily newspaper published ; 
 or if no daily newspaper is published in such city or village, and
 
 192 SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS. 
 
 a weekly newspaper is -published therein, then at least once in 
 each week for two successive weeks in such weekly newspaper; 
 or if no daily or weekly newspaper is published in such city or 
 village, then in a newspaper published in the county in which 
 such city or village is situated. The notice may be substantially 
 as follows : 
 
 " Special Assessment Notice. Notice is hereby given to all persons 
 interested, that the city council (or board of trustees, as the case may 
 be), of , having ordered that (here insert the description and na- 
 ture of improvements substantially as in ordinance) have applied to 
 
 the County Court of County for an assessment of the costs of said 
 
 improvements according to benefits, and an assessment thereof hav- 
 ing been made 'end returned to said court, the final hearing thereon 
 
 will be had at the term of said court, commencing on the 
 
 day of , A. D. 18 . All persons desiring may then and there ap- 
 pear and make their defense. 
 
 (Here give date.) ] 
 
 > Commissioners." 
 
 (As amended by act in force July 1, 1873. See Ottawa vs. 
 Macy, 20 111. R., 413. 
 
 SEC. 28. On or before the final hearing, the affidavit of one or 
 more of the commissioners shall be filed in said court, stating 
 that they have sent or caused to be sent by mail to the owners 
 whose premises have been assessed, and whose names and places 
 of residence are known to them, the notice hereinbefore re- 
 quired to be sent by mail to owners of premises assessed. They 
 shall also cause to be filed the affidavit of the person who shall 
 have posted the notices required by this act to be posted, set- 
 ting forth when and in what manner the same were posted. 
 Such affidavits shall be received as prima facie evidence of a 
 compliance with this act in regard to giving such notices. They 
 shall also file a certificate of publication of said notice in like 
 manner as is required in other cases of publication of notices. 
 (As amendeded by act in force July 1, 1873.) 
 
 SEC. 29. If ten days shall not have elapsed between the 
 first publication, or the putting up of such notices, and the first
 
 SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS. 193 
 
 day of the next term of such court, the hearing shall be con- 
 tinued until the next term of court. 
 
 SEC. 30. Any person interested in any real estate to be 
 affected by such assessment, may appear and file objections to 
 such report, and the court may make such order in regard to 
 the time of filing such objections as may be made in cases at law 
 in regard to the time of filing pleas. As to all lots, blocks, 
 tracts and parcels of land, to the assessment of which objec- 
 tions are not filed within the time ordered by the court, default 
 may be entered and the assessment confirmed by the court. 
 
 (a) The court may take time to consider and decide upon 
 the objections. Ottawa vs. Fisher, 20 111. R., 422. 
 
 (5) A party after notice, who fails to appear, waives all ob- 
 jections. (Ottawa vs. C. $ R. I. R. R. Co., 25 111. R., 43; 
 Jenks vs. Chicago, 48 Id., 296.) 
 
 (c] A special assessment cannot extend beyond the prop-
