All excavations for buildings shall be properly guarded and protected so as to prevent the same from becoming dangerous. to life or hmb, and shall be sheath piled by the person or per- sons causing the excavations to be made when necessary to pre- vent the adjoining earth from caving in. Plans filed in the Department of Buildings shall be accompanied by a state- ment of the character of the soil at the level of the footings when required by the Inspector of Buildings. § 29. Excavations Over Ten Feet Deep. Whenever the owner of a lot in the City of Louisville pro- poses to excavate upon such lot to a depth greater than ten (10) feet below the top of the curbstone of the sidewalk ad- 96 BUILDING DEPARTMENT. joining such lot, or below the lot grade, if excavation is back of sidewalk line, or to cause an excavation to be made on such lot to a depth greater than ten feet below the top of such curbstone or lot grade, the owner so proposing to excavate, or to cause an excavation to be made, shall at his own expense protect any wall on adjoining land on or near such excavation from injury from such excavation, if the necessary license is afforded him to enter upon such adjoining land for that pur- pose, but not otherwise. Any person, firm or corporation whose duty it is under this ordinance or other law to protect any wall, cellar or structure, shall be subject to the penalties imposed by this ordinance. § 30. Retaining Walls. When an excavation is made on any lot, the person or per- sons causing such exeavation to be made shall build on the adjoining lot at his or their own cost and’ expense a retain- ing wall to support the adjoining earth, if accorded the neces- sary license to enter upon the said adjoining lot, and not otherwise, and such retaining wall shall be carried to the height of the adjoining earth and be properly protected by cop- ing. If the necessary license is not accorded to the person or persons making such excavation, then it shall be the duty of the owner or owners refusing to grant such license to build the retaining wall on his or their own property at his or their own expenses without recourse to the person or persons mak- ing the excavation on the premises adjoining thereto. The thickness of a retaining wall at its base shall be in no case less than one-fourth of its height, or of a design of equiva- lent strength. § 31. Bearing Capacity of Soil. Where no test of the sustaining power of the soil is made, different soils, excluding mud at the bottom of the footings, shall be deemed to safely sustain the following loads to the superficial foot, namely : Loam, clay or fine sand, firm and dry, two and one-half tons per square foot. . Very firm, coarse sand, stiff gravel or hard clay, four tons per sauare foot, or as otherwise determined by the Inspector of Buildings. Where a test is made of the sustaining power of the soil, the Inspector of Buildings shall be notified so that he may be BUILDING DEPARTMENT. yer > present, either in person or by representative. The record of the test shall be filed in the Department of Buildings. When a doubt arises as to the safe sustaining power of the earth upon which a building is to be erected, the Depart- ment of Buildings may order borimegs to be made, or direct: to be tested the sustaining power of the soil by and at the expense of the owner of the proposed building. § 32. Pressure Under Footings of Foundations. The loads exerting pressure under the footings of founda- tions in buildings more than, three stories in height are to be computed as follows: For warehouses and factories, they are to be the full dead load and 75 per cent. of the full live load, established by see- tion 100 of this Code. In stores and buildings for hight manufacturing purposes: they are to be the full dead load and 60 per cent. of the live load established by section 100 of this Code. In churches, school houses and places of public amusement or assembly they are to be full dead load and 60 per cent. of the live load established by Section 100: of this Code. In office buildings, hotels, apartment hotels, dwellings, apartment houses, tenement houses, lodging houses and stables: they are to be the full dead load and 40 per cent. of the live load established by section 100 of this Code. Footings shall be so designed that the loads will be as nearly uniform as possible and not in excess of the safe bear- ing capacity of the soil, aS established by section 31 of this: Code. § 33. Foundations. Every building, except buildings erected upon solid rock, shall have foundations not less than thirty inches below the eurb level (or the finished grade of lot if the building does: not immediately adjoin the sidewalk) on solid ground or upom piles or ranging timbers when solid ground or rock is not: found. § 34. Wood Piles. Piles of wood intended to sustain a wall, pier or post shalF be spaced not more than thirty-six inches nor less than twenty inches on centers, and they shall be driven to a solid bearing, if practicable to do so, and the number of such piles shall be sufficient to support the superstructure proposed. YQ BUILDING DEPARTMENT. No wood pile shall be used of less dimensions than five inches at the small end and ten inches at the butt for short piles, or piles twenty feet or less in length, and twelve inches at the butt for long piles or piles more than twenty feet in length. No wood pile shall be weighted with a load exceeding forty ‘thousand pounds. When a wood pile is not driven to refusal, its safe sustain- ing power in pounds shall be determined by the following “formula: Twice the weight of the hammer in pounds multiplied by the height of the fall in feet divided by the penetration of pile under the last blow in inches plus one. The Inspector of Buildings shall be notified of the time “when such test piles of wood will be driven, that he may be “present either in person or by representative. When required conerete shall be rammed down in the in- ‘terspaces between the heads of the piles to a depth and thick- ‘ness of not less than twelve inches, and for one foot in width ‘outside of the piles. § 35. Concrete Piles. Piles may be made of concrete, either reinforced or plain. Plain conerete piles must be molded in place by methods “which are reasonably certain to secure perfect, full-sized piles; reinforced concrete piles, if properly designed. to resist the shock of driving, and if driven with a cushion to lessen the shock, or if put down by a water jet, may be molded, al- lowed to harden, and then driven or jetted into place. In: case concrete piles are used, whether reinforced or other- -wise, their bearing power shall be determined by putting in one or more test piles and loading them after the concrete is suffi- elently hard. The full working load in the structure shall not be more ‘than one-third of the load under which the pile begins to settle. In no ease, however, shall the load on a conerete pile ex- «ceed fifty thousand pounds per square foot of cross section of conerete plus 6,000 pounds per square inch on any longi- tudinal steel reinforcement. § 36. Foundation Walls. Foundation walls shall be construed to inelude all walls sand piers built below the curb level or nearest tier of beams ‘to the curb, or to the average level of the ground adjoining BUILDING DEPARTMENT. (Op the walls, to serve as supports for walls, piers, columns, girders, posts or beams. Foundation wall shall be built of stone, brick, cement, con-- erete, iron or steel. If built of rubble, stone, brick or conerete, they shall be at least four inches thicker than the wall next above them to a depth of twelve feet below curb or grade level, and for every additional ten feet or part thereof deeper, they shall be increased four inches in thickness, but no foundation wall of rubble stone shall be less than eighteen inches thick. Base Course—The footings or base course shall be of stone or conerete or both, or-of concrete and stepped-up brick- work, or brick-work of sufficient thickness and area to safely~ bear the weight to be imposed thereon. If the footing or base course be of conerete, the conerete shall not be less than eight inches thick. If of stone, alternate stones shall extend through the wall and be at least six inches in thickness. If stepped-up foot- ings of brick are used, the off-sets, if laid in single courses, shall each not exceed one and one-half inches, or if laid im double courses, then each shall not exceed three inches, off- setting the first course of brick-work back one-half the thick- ness of the concrete base so as to properly distribute the load’ to be imposed thereon. Headers in Stone Walls.—All stone walls twenty-four inches: or less in thickness shall have at least one header extending- through the wall in every five feet in each course, and if over twenty-four inches in thickness, shall have one header for every six superficial feet on both sides of the wall laid on top of each other to bond together and running into the wall at least: two feet. All headers shall be at least twelve inches in width and be well shaped flat stones. No stone in a rubble wall shall have a bed less than the rise, and in no ease shall the bed be less than six inches. All foundation walls shall be laid in cement mortar. § 37. Grillage in Foundations. Grillage beams of wrought iron or steel resting on a proper eonerete bed may be used. Such beams shall be provided with separators and bolts inclosed and filled solid between with con— erete and of such sizes and so arranged as to transmit with safety the superimposed loads. 100 BUILDING DEPARTMENT.

If the pitch be more than twenty degrees, the live load shall be assumed at thirty pounds measured on a horizontal ‘plane. ’ Roofs used as places of public assembly or other special “~purposes shall be made to carry the live loads per square foot as are required on floors used for like purposes. § 102. Strength of Existing Floors to be Calculated. When required by the Inspector of Buildings, the owner -or agents of warehouses and buildings or parts of buildings in which manufacturing is carried on, erected prior to the passage of this ordinance, shall furnish the Inspector of Build- ings with a statement made by a competent architect, engineer -or builder, showing the size of the beams and floors of such ‘buildings. The statements shall also contain the evenly dis: ‘tributed load in pounds per square foot which the owner or agent desires to carry on the floors described. The Inspector of Buildings shall examine every such state- -ment when it has been filed and shall determine the maximum lead or loads that shall be allowed on the floors described and such maximum loads shall not be greater than would be al ‘lowable under the provisions of this ordinance. The officers and employes of the office of the Inspector of ‘Buildings may enter any building for the purpose of verifying ‘the statements relating thereto, or to obtain further informa- tion regarding the construction of such buildings, and may amake measurements and remove portions of flooring or ceiling or other parts that are deemed necessary to make the exam- ‘ination complete, cost if any, to be at the expense of the “owner or agent of the building. The Inspector of Buildings may enter any such warehouse or building in which manufacturing is earried on for the pur- pose of such examination, and shall determine the maximum sallowable loads without the statements as herein provided, if ssuch action is deemed desirable. When the maximum load or loads have been determined. the owner or agent shall be notified, and thereupon he shall post ahe amount of said maximum loads in a conspicuous place on ach floor or part thereof to which it relates. | § 103.

Reduction in Live Loads on Columns. For the purpose of determining the carrying capacity of columns in dwellings, office buildings, stores, stables and public buildings when over five stories in height, a reduction of the live load shall be permissible as follows: - For the roof and the top floor the full live loads shall be used. For each succeeding lower floor, it shall be permissible to reduce the live load by 5 per cent., until 50 per cent. of the live loads fixed by this section is reached, when such reduced loads shall be used for all remaining floors. § 105. Load on Floors to be Distributed. The weight placed on any of the floors of any building shall be safely distributed thereon. The Inspector of Buildings may require the owner or occu- pant of any building, or of any portion thereof, to redistribute the load on any floor, or to lighten such load where it is mecessary for safety. § 106. Strength of Temporary Supports. Every temporary support under any structure, wall, girder or beam, during the erection, finishing, alteration, or repairing of any building or structure, or any part thereof, shall be of sufficient strength to safely carry the load to be placed thereon. During the construction or alteration of any building or structure, no material entering into such construction or alter- ation, shall be placed on any floor of any greater weight than the live load that each such floor is intended to safely sustain when the building or structure is completed. 134 BUILDING DEPARTMENT.

Within thirty days after the enactment of an ordinance pro- posing to annex territory to the city, or to reduce the limits thereof, one or more residents or freeholders of the territory proposed to be annexed or stricken off may file a petition in the circuit court of the county, or any branch thereof having jurisdiction in civil cases, setting forth the reasons why such territory or any part thereof should not be annexed, or whv the limits should not be reduced. Summons shall issue thereon and be executed on the mayor or chief executive officer of the city as in other cases, and the answer of the city shall be filed within twenty days after service of the summons. The case shall be tried according to the rules and practice prescribed for the trial of jury cases. If the jury be satisfied, upon a hearing, that less than seventy-five per cent. of the freeholders of the territory to be annexed or stricken off have remonstrated, and that the adding or striking off of such territory to the city will be for its interest, and will cause no manifest injury to the persons owning real estate in the territory sought to be annexad or stricken off, it shall so find, and said annexation or reduction shall be approved and become final. If the courts shall be satis- fied that seventy-five per cent. or more of the resident free- holders of the territory sought to be annexed or stricken off have remonstrated, then such annexation or reduction shall not take place, unless the jury shall find from the evidence that a failure to annex or strike off will materially retard the pros- perity of such city, and of the owners and inhabitants of the territory sought to be annexed or stricken off. In case the jury shall so find, the annexation or reduction shall not take place, § 2762. When less than 75 per cent. of the freeholders in the territory sought to be annexed not be for the interest of the property-owners or would retard the growth of the city. It is also remonstrate, the only questions for the jury to consider are whether the annexation will ben- efit the city and whether the an- nexation would cause manifest injury to the persons owning real estate in the territory. In such case it is improper to admit evi- dence that the annexation would improper to admit evidence show- ing that the Council discriminat- ed in favor of certain residents in making the annexation, as the City Council is the sole judge of what territory should be annex- ed.

Pfaffinger v. Kremer, 74 S. W., 238; 24 Ky. Law Rep., 2368. A street on which imiprove- ments were made was paralleled on the east by a street of equal length, while the street next west remained parallel with it only in part; and, in apportioning the cost of the improvement to adja- cent property, the council treated the street on the west as running parallel to the improved street the entire distance. Held that, though this method resulted in the territory to be taxed on the east side of the improved street being wider than that on the west side, nevertheless, as, under the law, the territory would. have been taxed in the manner determined ‘by the council if the street on the west side actually | ran parallel the entire distance, the method adopted by the coun-. ¢eil was ‘proper.

See sec. 3833, and Reed v. Bates, 24 R., 2312. (3) Sidewalks. The fact that no sidewalk was made when a street was originally constructed, or was ever thereafter made, does not prevent a subsequent improvement of the street from being a reconstruction; nor is it material that the street was originally improved by building a ‘‘turnpike road,’’ as that is well understood to mean a macadam pavement, which is the kind of pavement at the time of the im- provement, in general use in the city. Kentucky Statutes, section 2835, providing that ‘“‘the cost of making sidewalks, including curbing, whether by original con- struction or reconstruction, shall be apportioned to the front feet as owned by the iparties, respec- tively, fronting said improve- ment, except that each corner lot will pay the cost of its sidewalk intersection,’ applies only when a Sidewalk, including curbing, is. either constructed or reconstruct- ed; and therefore where no con- struction of sidewalk is provided for, but the ordinance and con- tract provide for an improvement of the carriageiway “by grading. curbing, and jpaving,’’ the curb— ing is a part of the improvement of the carriage-way, and, if the work is reconstruction, must be done at the cost of the city.

Appellee G was a contractor for the construction of a section of Highland avenue, and brought an action on appor- tionment warrants against aut- ting property owners to recover the price of the construction. This court decided that the prop- erty owners were not liable on said warrants as the imiprove- ment was not original cotristruc- tion, but reconstruction, for which the city alone is liable. Several of the property holders pending the litigation paid to the contractor the amounts due on their warrants under an agreement that should it ibe de- termined that they were not lia- ble on same, said amounts should ‘be returned. On the trial below, in which the ‘contractor sought to recover tthe amounts due from the city for the benefit of the property holders who had paid ‘him, the city claims that it had paid said indebtedness, and no recovery could ‘be had for the further reason that the proof did not authorize a recovery. Held, That under gection 2838, Ken- tucky Statutes, it is provided that ~ CITIES OF THE FIRST CLASS. 69d» contract therefor, and a copy of the apportionment—each at- ‘tested by the comptroller—shall be pruma facie evidence of the due passage, approval, and publication of the ordinance, in all actions to enforce liens a copy of the ordinance authoriz- ing the improvement, a copy of the contract therefor, and a copy of the apportionment, each at- tested by the comptroller, should be prima facie evidence of the validity of the claim. This proof having been made, it devolved on appellant to deteat the claim. Appellant cannot claim that the payment to the contractor under a special agreement for refund- ing same inured to its benefit, as none of these payments were made on behalf of the city. Statute of limitation—The contract Seing in writing, an ac-~ tion to enforce payment of the contract price will not be barred until after fifteen years.

The mere grading of a dirt road so as to form a crown, and to leave depressions at the sides for surface drainage, and the leveling of inequalities, does not constitute a street construction. 2. Kentucky Statutes, section 2838, providing for the original construction of streets in cities of the first class at the exclusive cost of the owners of abutting property according to area, is not constitutional. 8. A street assessment will not be held to ‘be an arbitrary and. unconstitutional taking of prop- erty merely because the benefits. from the street are not commen- surate with the cost, as the Leg- islature ‘has a large discretion in defining the property deemed to be specially benefited, and the: courts will not interfere, except upon a showing of fact so con- clusive as amply to justify their interference. There is no spoliation unless. the cost of the improvement equal or exceeds the value of the property. Haller v. Barber Asphalt Paving Co., 113 S. W., by 4. The fact that a State stat- ute providing for the original construction of streets at the ex- clusive cost of the owners of abutting property according to area makes no provision for a preliminary hearing as to the ex- tent of the special *Senefits to each piece of property resulting from the improvement, does not render it violatvie of the four- teenth amendment to the Con- stitution of the United States. 5. Under Constitution, section 242, providing that ‘‘municipal and other corporations, and in- dividuals, invested with the privilege of taking private prop- erty for public uses, shall make just compensation for property taken, injured or destroyed by them; which compensation shall be paid before such taking, or paid or secured, at the election of such corporation or individual, before such injury or destruc- tion,’’—an ordinance for a street improvement is not void because _it fails to provide for compensa- tion for the injury to abutting property from the excavations necessary to be made to conform the street to the grade thereto- fore fixed by the city council, as ‘696 AN ACT FOR THE GOVERNMENT OF of the due execution and approval of the contract, and shall also be prima facie evidence of every other fact necessary to be established by the plaintiff in such actions to entitle him to the relief authorized to be given in this act. In such actions the court shall provide in its order confirming any report of sale that the defendants, or either of them, or any one claim- ing through or under them, or either of them, or any creditors of theirs, or either of them, may, within two years from the date of such order confirming a report of sale, redeem the land sold by paying to the purchaser the purchase price, with interest a statute or ordinance which re- sults in injury to property is not unconstitutional ‘because it fails to (provide for compensation to be made for the injury before it is done. 6. Though the change in the grade was unnecessary, and might have been prevented by in- junction, and though the exca- vations necessary to conform to the grade might have ‘been pre- vented until compensation had been provided for the injury to ‘be occasioned thereby, yet, as neither of these things was done, the defendants in an action by the contractor to enforce his lien can not have the cost of the ex- cavation, which has been includ- ed in the assessment, apportioned among them, and recover against the city the amounts apportioned, the remedy being an action at law to recover the damages which have actually accrued from the change of grade. 7. The making out of an ap- portionment warrant is not the levy of a tax, and may ‘be per- formed {by an executive board. 8. A statute providing for the construction of streets at the cost of abutting property owners is not unconstitutional because it does not require the contract for such construction to ‘be apvroved- by the city council, as that is a ministerial act, and may be en- trusted to an executive board. 9. All the requirements of the statute necessary to create a lien having been complied with, the fact that the apportionment warrants were not approved by the mayor and council, as requir- ed by an ordinance, does not af- fect the validity of the lien. 10. The records of the council showing that an ordinance was passed by the two Soards on dif- ferent days is conclusive of that question, and can not be over- come by the recollection of a witness; and, besides, the state- ment of a witness that an ordi- nance was passed ‘by both boards on the same night may ‘be con- sistent with the proper passage of the ordinance by one of the poards at a subsequent date, which is a sufficient compliance with Kentucky Statutes, section 2777, providing that an _ ordi- nance shall not /be passed by ‘both boards on the same day. 11. Where the contractor was required by the contract to keep the street in repair for five years, and, in order to secure that undertaking on his part, was required to deposit %onds amounting to ten per cent. of the contract ‘price, it will be pre- sumed that this provision did not increase the cost of the improve- ment beyond the ten per cent. as the Court of appeals had pre- viously construed such a provi- sion in a street-improvement con- tract as binding the contractor only to that extent for repairs, and it must be presumed that plaintiff contracted with refer- ence to that construction. 12. Proper averments of the CITIES OF THE FIRST CLASS.

Apportionment warrants—registration—lien.

After the work is done, the legislative determination of the council that the imiprove- ment was necessary will not be disturbed, except upon a show- ing of abuse of discretion so conclusive as to amply justify the interference of the court. 14. Where the city, without good cause, released an accepted bidder, who had given ‘bond with solvent surety, and the ‘bid ac- cepted upon a second advertise- ment, though the lowest one then made, was considerably higher than that of the released con- tractor, the property owners are entitled to judgments’ over against the city for the differ- ence.

(5) Apportionment warrants. In this action to recover the amount of apportionment war- rants for street improvements in Louisville, it is insisted in de- fense that the petition does not show that the apportionment was approved by the general council. Held, That as section 2839, Ken- tucky Statutes, authorizes the board of public works to make out the apportionment warrants, the allegation that the board of public works made out the war- rants is prima facie sufficient. The Court of Appeals can not take judicial notice of ordinances of the city, and if there was an ordinance requiring that the ap- portionment should ‘be approved by the council Sefore the war- rants were issued, and that there was no such approval, the facts AN ACT FOR THE GOVERNMENT OF 698 quired by ordinance, and within two days thereafter shall en- ter the same upon a register kept in alphabetical order for that purpose. When the holder of said warrant shall have obtained payment, he shall notify the board of public works, and it shall be marked upon the register as paid. The lien shall exist from the date of the apportionment warrant; but a len shall not be valid against a purchaser for valuable consideration without notice, unless it shall be so entered and registered within ten days of the issuing of the apportionment warrant.
