This is an appeal from a decree of the Conway Chancery Court, sustaining the sufficiency of the proceedings establishing Street Paving Improvement District No. 1 of Morrilton, Arkansas.
Appellant, a property owner of the district, attacked the validity thereof on the ground that the petitions for the organization of, and the ordinances creating and establishing the district, failed to certainly and definitely describe the improvements to be made.
The preliminary petition, required by section 5649 of Crawford & Moses’ Digest, described the improvements contemplated, as follows: “The said improvement district as above described to be organized for the purpose of macadamizing, grading, graveling, paving, curbing, guttering or improving with such material as may be determined. ’ ’
The petition for the establishment and organization of the district under section 5652 of Crawford & Moses’ Digest described the improvements to be made as follows: “We respectfully petition and ask that the following improvements contemplated be made in said district, of the nature, kind and character, towit: Macadamizing, grading, graveling, paving, curbing, guttering or improving in such a manner and form' as provided and shown by the estimates, plans and specifications prepared *248and on file be made and constructed on the following streets.”
The ordinance passed by the city council creating the district and fixing the boundaries thereof provided that the improvements to be made should be “grading, graveling and macadamizing, surfacing, paving, curbing or guttering the streets therein mentioned. ’ ’
This court ruled, in the case of McDonnell v. Improvement Dist. No. 145, Little Rock, 97 Art. 334, that the petitions provided for in sections 5649 and 5652 of Crawford & Moses’ Digest for the organization of improvement districts in incorporated towns and cities need not mate particular specifications of the things to be done in order to mate the improvements. It was said in that case: “All that is required is that the nature of the improvement be specified in general terms, so that the purpose of the organization may be set forth in the proceedings. Much must, of course, be left to the discretion of the commissioners in forming the plans for the improvement and making the estimates of the cost thereof.” The ruling in that case was reaffirmed in Board of Improvement of Paving Dist. No. 7 of City of Port Smith v. Brun, 105 Ark. 65. Under the ruling in those cases, the description in the petitions now before us described the proposed improvements with sufficient certainty and definiteness. The petitions and ordinances provide for paving the streets described, by macadamizing or graveling them, as well as for curbing and guttering said streets. It is true that the petitions contain a provision authorizing the improvement to be made with such material as may be determined, but that necessarily means material of the general character used in macadamizing or graveling streets. Appellant makes the further specific contention that, under the descriptive language used, it is impossible to determine whether all improvements therein designated are to be made, or, if not all, what particular improvements so enumerated shall be made. We understand the language to mean that the board of improvement shall either macadamize *249or gravel the streets, one or the other. We also understand the descriptive language to mean that, in addition to paving proper, the streets shall be curbed and guttered; so the paving, curbing and guttering constitute a single improvement. This court said in the case of Board of Improvement of Paving Dist. No. 7 of City of Fort Smith v. Brun, 105 Ark. 65, that, “If the improvement of the street is authorized, and to make such improvement it is necessary to grade, macadamize and curb the street, the work undertaken is in fact hut one improvement, although parts of the work are called by different names.” The property owners in the petition before us have clearly elected to pave the streets described by graveling or macadamizing them, as well as to curb and gutter said streets by the creation of one district. This they had a right to do, under the ruling announced in Bottrell v. Hollipeter, 135 Ark. 315, and in other cases of this court cited therein.
No error appearing, the decree is affirmed.
