DECISIONS BY HIGHER COURTS
POWER OF BOARDS OF Equally. /,
TON ARE LIMITED.
Can Only Revise Assessments md
Not Add Property TO the Rolls
Made Up by the Assessor,

San Antonio, Texas, December 20.-An
Important opinion was handed down by
Judge w. s. Fly, associate justice OF the
Fourth court of civil appeals, yesterday
in the suits involving the assessment of
franchise of the San Antonio Street Rail-
way company and OF the Mutual Electric
Light company. The two cases are paral-
lei and the same opinion was rendered in
each.
In 1897 the city board OF equalization
assessed the franchise OF the street rail-
way and the electric light companies at
respectively s25o.O00 and $4,000. The
companies sued out a writ of Injunction
In each case to restrain the city from en-
forcing the assessments, holding that the
board of liquidation had simply power to
revise assessments already made, but no.
to add new property to the rolls. When
these cases came to be heard before Judge
Green in the Thirty seventh district court,
exceptions of the defendants were sus-
tanned and judgments for defendants were
rendered. The cases were appealed and
the opinion of the higher court In each
case. was rendered today as follows The
board of revision having no authority to
add other property to the list returned by
the assessor. the petition on that point
set UP good cause Of action and 1t was
error to sustain the exception to it. The
judgment is reversed and the cause re-
manded."
