McCown, J.,
dissenting.
I respectfully dissent, basically upon the ground that curb cuts and driveways primarily involve access to, and, therefore, regulatory power over the use of streets, rather than the “nature, kind, and manner of constructing streets, alleys, sidewalks, and sewers.”
Where statutes which admittedly are required to be *106strictly construed describe specifically only “streets, alleys, sidewalks, and sewers,” it requires straining of construction to include private driveways as though they had been specifically mentioned.
I am therefore of the opinion that the judgment of the trial court was correct and should be affirmed.
