Application by the town of West Chicago for the appointment of commissioners to make and levy a special assessment for the cost of improving a boulevard. Commissioners were appointed, and, from a judgment confirming the assessment roll made by them, Mary White and others bring error. Reversed.

PER CURIAM.

The same record presented in this case has been before us on three occasions. Culver v. People, 161 Ill. 89, 43 N. E. 812;Farrell v. Town of West Chicago, 162 Ill. 280, 44 N. E. 527;Connor v. Town of West Chicago, 162 Ill. 287, 44 N. E. 1118.In the Culver Case it was decided that the ordinance upon the validity of which the judgment depended was without authority of law, and void, by reason of a provision for dividing the special assessment into installments, with interest. That decision was adopted in the other cases, and is equally conclusive in this. The judgment is reversed, and the cause remanded. Reversed and remanded.
