pros erty, ands proportion of the cost being
sessed on him he filed bill TO enjoin the Cor
poraticn from collecting such tax, alleging
that sewer already constructed in the rear
ofnis premises was amply sufficient for the
drainage of the same.
The Court decided that IL was a matter in
the discretion of the Councils TO construct
sewers where they Mere necessary, and that u
(the Courtl had no right TO interfere with the
action of the Councils unless some corrupt
motive is charged, and in this case no such
charge Is made. Although the complainant
