A property owner sued a municipality, claiming the construction of a public road adjacent to their land resulted in soil subsidence that damaged their retaining wall, which was built according to a 1904 permit, and sought compensation for the cost of repairing this wall. The court held that the municipality's responsibility for damage caused by public works, even if built lawfully and without fault, arises from the general principle of liability for damage caused to private property by the execution of public works, and thus, the municipality was liable for the costs incurred by the property owner to repair the retaining wall damaged by the road construction.
