In all cases of damage arising under the provisions of this act the party or parties whose property is damaged or sought to be taken by the provisions of this act shall have the right to appeal from such assessment of damages, but such appeal shall not delay the appropriation of the property sought to be taken, or delay the improvement proposed, or retard the change of grade sought to be made. In no case shall the city be liable for the costs or interest on such appeal, unless the party appealing shall be adjudged entitled, upon the appeal, to a greater amount of damage than was awarded. The remedy by appeal herein allowed shall be deemed and held to be exclusive.
