Opinion

Per Curiam:

It is well settled, when the land, in front of which the water pipes are laid, is farm land and suburban property, that it cannot be assessed according to the “foot front rule.” In such case, there is an absence of power to tax it in that manner.

We discover no error in the answers to the points nor in the charge of the court. The law was correctly declared.

Judgment affirmed in each case.
