Appeal of municipal drain assessment dismissed; engineer's evidence of surface water runoff accepted.
The appellant appealed the decision of the Court of Revision regarding the assessment of his agricultural property for the construction and future maintenance of a municipal drain.
The appellant argued that his land did not hold surface water and received no benefit from the drain.
The Tribunal accepted the engineer's professional opinion evidence that the property sloped toward the drain and contributed runoff, justifying the assessment for outlet and maintenance liability.
The appeal was dismissed, and the assessment was found to be fair and reasonable.
