1 sentence1938T., supra, at page 212 (611), in the following language, and we see no reason for not applying the same rules in the instant case: “At the outset we hold that in this state, if, in the exercise of a privilege to construct or repair a sewer in a public street, a municipality makes excavations therein, it is subject to the same duty not to interfere with the lateral support of land abutting on the street that the law imposes upon adjoining landowners. | 1 | 1938–1938 |
Commonwealth v. Plaisted
green
1 sentence1932In Massachusetts the court said in Commonwealth v.
