MUNICIPAL TAx-O0LLEOTI0E EN-.
JOINED,

The case of b. +. Pickett and
others for an injunction against
the sale of property for taxes of
1886 and 1887 that has been pend
ing some two years, was decided
in the Chancery Court here last
Wednesday. The decree sustains
the injunction and by request the
req. therefor are stated in the
decree. The court held that the
ordinance of the Board of Mayor
and Aldermen levying a tax of -
on every $1,000 worth Of property,
was void in hat it fixed no fiscal
year or time for payment of taxes
that the levy thus made in 1886
would not do for a levy for 1887,
but that a levy must be made for
each year, and that notice of such
levy and the assessment thereunto
should be given to taxpayers be
fore they could be treated as de-
linquents. And the court further.
more held that the town had no
authority by law to collect taxes
by distress that had become delin-
quent for a previous year. Accord
ing to this latter dictum the town
must loose the taxes for all past
years including 1886, 1887, 1888
and 1889. The compliments, rep
resented by II. b. Everitt, injoined
the entire sale of lands proposed
to be made and the injunction was
made perpetual. The city is rep.
resented by Seal & Bloomfield
and G. S. Meriwether, who obtain
ed an order for an appeal to the
Supreme Court.
