Defendants appeal from judgments rendered against them foreclosing the lien of street assessments for the improvement of Nineteenth Avenue, in San Francisco, with all street crossings but one, between Quintara and Vicente Streets, by paving, curbing, and sewering; the latter for one block only. The appeals from the two judgments are to be considered together, and only differ for the reason that they are for assessments upon different properties and against different persons. The same points are raised as in Federal Construction Co. v. Wolfson, ante, p. 267, [ 199 Pac. 512 ], and have been determined therein against appellants’ contention.

In making the assessment the five separate blocks in which the work was done were separately assessed. In four of the blocks the cost of curbing and paying was added and a single front-foot rate of $5.881867 was ascertained as the rate to cover this cost and the proper proportion of incidental expenses.…
