1. As to the claims for damages on account of dust blowing from the "roadway, fumes from passing automobiles, and interference with the circulation of air over the premises of the several claimants; — none of the claimants have shown any depreciation in the value of their respective properties,for which they are entitled to damages.

Future damages can be obviated in each case by connecting the open ditches or other means of drainage of such lots with the sewer system installed by the Respondent.
3. As to claims for damage on account of interference with the right of access, each and all of the lots involved in this proceeding have been depreciated in value to some extent as the result of the construction of the improvement in question, the amount of such depreciation in each case varying with the particular lot.
