junction to issue, asked for by the Alliance
Coal Company, to restrain James Mccarthy,
Tax Collector of New Philadelphia, from col
lecting from complainant borough and special
tax illegally levied for the year 1895. Judge
Savidge held that the failure of the Burgess
to approve of the resolutions passed, levyng
the tax, made the levy illegal. The court
held that the levying of tax is a legislative
act. 1t is the highest prerogative of a legisla-
tive body and has ever been so regarded.
The levy was made by motion and the court
held that the motion must, to give it any
effect, whatever, be treated as a resolution.
Council cannot legislate by motion.
