SECTION 20. APPEAL. Such appeal may be taken by filing an original

complaint in such court against such city within the time named,

setting forth the action of such board in respect to such assessment

or award and stating the facts relied upon as showing an error on

the part of such board. Such court shall rehear the matter of such

assessment or award de novo, and confirm, lower or increase the same,

as may seem just. In case such court shall reduce the amount of benefit

assessed against the land of such property-holder ten per cent. of the

assessment by said board, or increase the amount of damages awarded

in his favor ten per cent. of the amount awarded by such board, the

plaintiff in such suit shall recover costs, otherwise not. The amount

of the judgment in such court shall be final, and no appeal shall lie

therefrom.
