Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Samuel H. High, Jr., with him High, Swartz, Childs & Roberts, for appellant.

Before RHODES, P.J., HIRT, GUNTHER, WRIGHT, WOODSIDE, ERVIN, and WATKINS, JJ.


OPINION BY WOODSIDE, J., March 24, 1960:

The parties here seek an answer to a simple question of law: Can a sewer authority, assessing the cost of constructing a sanitary sewer according to the front foot rule, assess only that part of the frontage of a lot which abuts its sewer pipe, or can it assess the entire frontage? We agree with the court below that it can assess only that portion of the frontage which abuts the sewer.
