General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

Schaefer v. Werling No. 161 Argued January 27-28, 1903 Decided February 23, 1903 188 U.S. 516
ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT
OF THE STATE OF INDIANA
Syllabus
The construction placed by the highest courts of the state upon a statute providing for paving streets and distributing the assessment therefor is conclusive upon this Court.
Where a person attacking the validity of an assessment claims that the city is estopped from proceeding to collect the benefits assessed upon lots, the owner whereof objected in writing, and which objections were placed on file by the common council, the question, so far as such estoppel is concerned, is purely state, and not federal.
Within repeated decisions of this Court, the statute in question in this case is not in conflict with the Constitution of the United States.
The case is stated in the opinion of the Court.
