Sec. 8. Grading—Plan showing elevation or lowering.
Whenever the paving, grading, or making of sidewalks or
streets anywhere in the city is ordered by the council, it shall be
the duty of the city manager, when in his opinion such street or
sidewalk should be so graded as to raise or lower the same materially
with reference to the property of abutting lot owners, to
make his plans of such improvement, showing accurately in feet
and tenths the elevation or lowering of the street with reference
to such adjacent property. (Id., § 145.)
For provisions of state law generally as to grading, see §§ 3036-3039
of Michie's Virginia Code of 1942.
