Board OF Education;
Gontlomen. -Wo have examined tho
matter referred to us by your finance
committee relative 10 the tax suits in
volying tho school taxes OF 1890 levied In
tho several districts into which the salt
Lake City district was formerly divided.
and we have come To tho conclusion that
the board OF education In not entitled to
any further relief In the district court,
for tho reason that tho Judgment Of the
Supreme court, determining that those
taxes were invalid, was n final Judgment
aud determined that the board of cduca.
ton was not entitled to have the same or
. amy portion thereof paid over TO II by tho
collector. IL seems that in the further
proceedings taken for tho disposition Of
the fund paid into the court by rofunding
II less certain expenses, 20 those that
should DO ascoriainod to have paid 1t in
10 tho collector, tho report Of the referee
and direction Of tho court TO mako such
distribution includes and specifies cor-
tain persons amongst wnOm We UNDER
stand IN Mr.. Dooly and some oihors who
novor participated In tho prosecution,
authorized any ono to appear for
them or accepted the results Of tho
litigation and that their taxes remain In
the hands OF the district clork. IL seems
10 us that those persons whose moneys
arose situated have right to be- hoard by
an application made on their behalf but
rs tho decision determines that tho board
has no interest la this fund, we arc OF tho
opinion no relief could DO had upon its
application.
Respectfully.
