Opinion

Evans, J.

The plaintiff was the owner of two certain tracts of land within the corporate limits of the city of Des Moines and known in this record as lots eight and nine. Lot eight comprised an acreage of fifty-eight thirty-[301] two hundredths acres. Lot nine was a small tract adjoining lot eight. The assessment on lot nine was confirmed in the lower court and is not involved in this appeal. Lot eight is nn unplatted and uninhabited tract lying between De Motte’s addition on its north side and Polk & Hubbell’s addition on its south side. It is bounded on the north by Thompson Street, on the south by Washington Avenue, on the east by an extension of Fourteenth Street, and [302] on the west by an extension of Ninth Street. Prior to the construction of the sewer, Thirteenth Street had been extended north from Washington Avenue through the tract in question to Thompson Street. The foregoing plat will aid to an understanding of the discussion.
