The opinion of the court was delivered by This is an appeal from a judgment dismissing an action for a
declaratory judgment and for injunctive relief upon the ground
that the subject matter of the lawsuit, the installation of an
air inlet and relief manhole, had been installed upon the

way. Damages awarded to plaintiff and other landowners as a
