        "text": "Per Curiam.\nThis was a motion to dismiss an appeal alleged to have been taken by the plaintiff from a final order of the defendant, a municipal corporation, assessing damages and benefits to property owned by the plaintiff resulting from the improvement of one of the streets of the city. Tbe final order was made on 19 June, 1926, and the plaintiff\u2019s notice of appeal was given on 28 July, 1926. In the charter of the defendant it is provided'that any owner of premises who is dissatisfied with the damages or with the amount of special benefits assessed against bis property, or with any item in the report of the jury, may appeal to the next term of the Superior Court \u201cby serving upon the adverse party a written notice of such appeal witbin ten days after said board of commissioners shall have so passed upon said report, but not afterwards.\u201d Private Laws 1923, cb. 16, sec. 297.\nOn 28 July, 1926, the board of commissioners of the defendant met in regular session and made this entry upon their minutes: \u201cTbe appeal of D. G. Noland from the report of the jury assessing benefits and damages on account of the proposed widening of Yance Street was presented to the board, and on motion ordered filed and the clerk instructed to prepare and file the necessary papers in the office of the clerk of Superior Court.\u201d\nTbe appellant contends that this is a ivaiver of the defendant\u2019s right to insist upon the ten-day limitation of the statute. Tbe appellee contends that the statute is mandatory as to the time limit; that the commissioners are representatives, not of themselves as individuals, but of the whole city, and that the time within which an appeal may be taken was definitely fixed for the protection of all the citizens. Our opinion is that the statute prescribes a specific time within which an appellant from assessments in proceedings of this kind must give notice of appeal, and that the entry on the minutes of the commissioners did not have the effect of enlarging the time. Tbe question of the right to apply to the Superior Court in proper cases for a writ to bring up an appeal after the time limited when the appellant is not in fault is not presented.\nAffirmed.",
