Fehringer v. City of Chicago
Illinois Supreme Court · Decided October 19, 1900
187 Ill. 416

Fehringer v. City of Chicago

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam:

Upon the authority of Jacobs v. City of Chicago, 178 Ill. 560, and later cases, holding that city ordinances which fail to prescribe the height of a combined curb and gutter or state where the curb is to be placed are insufficient to sustain a special assessment for such curb and gutter, the judgment in this case must be reversed and the cause remanded to the county court of Cook county.

Reversed and remanded.
