    Appeal from Dallas county.
    
      Municipal Corporation — Damages—Liability . — -To render a municipal corporation liable for damages done to property, it must be alleged and proved that the wrongful acts complained of were committed under the direction and authority of the city; and, that such acts were within the scope of the corporate powers of the city.
    
      Limitation. — In such action, the statute of limitations begins to run when such act was done and not when the injury occurs. Reversed and remanded.
