(Seventh Circuit—Columbiana Co., Cir’t Court,
    Sept. Term, 1899.)
    Before Burrows and Frazier, JJ.
    ANONYMOUS. In the matter of Assessment Bonds of the City of Salem.
    
      Assessment bonds — Interest thereon making assessment more than 85 per cent of value of property—
    
    See s. c., 41 B., 101.
    Appeal from the Court of Common Pleas of Columbiana county.
    Within a few years the city has paved eight miles of street, issuing bonds bearing interest payable in yearly installments, the interest being included in the installments. A property owner on Garfield avenue declined to pay the interest on the first installment, and obtained an injunction from the common pleas court restraining the city from collecting it. The city appealed to the circuit court.
   PER CURIAM.

The decision of the lower court is affirmed on the theory that only twenty-five per cent, of the taxable valuation could be assessed against the property under the statute.
