Thus it will be seen that the sums assessed
in damages, expenses, and benefits, were in
creased, so as to make very considerable item
to the property-hoIders.
From the opinion of the court it will be seen
that all church property, (ssed for secular pur,
Poses,) county property, and State property, is
exempt from taxation, by assessment or other
wise. City property is liable to assessment by
special ordinance.
The opinion of the court virtually upsets the
assessment made BY the commissioners, and the
jury will now, following the instructions given
them, make an assessment de novO, of all
benefits arising to property holders, without
any regard to damages or expenses, and make
a return to the court.
The maps and plats of the street, together
with the Commissioners returns to the Regis
be employed one or two weeks in completing
their labors.
