Opinion of the Court

By the Court, McKinstry, J.:

The tenth section of the statute (Laws of 1862, p. 397), requires that the warrant, assessment and diagram shall be recorded, and provides: “When so recorded, the several amounts assessed shall be a lien upon the lands, lots,” etc.

The assessment and diagram, as recorded, contain no sufficient description of the lot to enforce the lien upon which this action is brought.

Judgment and order affirmed.
