CITY WINS ITS CASE.
Awarded Decision Against NJ. Il NJ. Land
II Improvement Co.

Awarded Decision Against nj. y VI. Land
and Improvement Co.
W. M. Johnston, acting city clerk,
received a telegram last night from At.
torney M. s. Gum OF Helena, stating
that the city Of Billings had won in the
case Of the Minnesota & Montana Land
g. Improvement company against the
city Of Billings and Yellowstone county
and W. B. George, county treasurer,
before Judge Knowles. The case Is a
celebrated one and was an action
brought by the land company to prevent
the city from giving tax deeds to Ger.
tain property belonging to the com.
plainant that had been sold for taxes.
The complainant own about 1900 lots
on the outskirts of Billings. In 1898
the city council passed an ordinance
creating special improvement district
No. /, by which it was proposed to
build two large drainage bitches. A
tax of nearly SO vas imposed on the
lots Of the oomplainants. The com.
p%lainant refused to pay the taxes. alleg.
ing the action Of the city was illegal.
The property was sold for taxes. Taxes
and penalties amounted to about 49,.
387. O6. A decree was asked declaring
the tax invalid aud for an injunction
restraining the issuance Of deeds. The
claim was made that the city had not
~reoiprocated; that properties adjoining
belonging to the railroad had not been
taxed.
The court decides that the city was
legally Incorporated, as 1t had been
acting as a corporation, that the points
raised by complainant were not we'll
taken. 1t was a complete victory for
the city. In concluding his opinion,
the court said:
AFTER a full consideration Of the
case it appears to me that the bitches
or drains constructed by the defendant
city were public improvements and a
beneficial one to all the lot owners in
the said city; that there was no dis.
elimination against the complainant IN
the special tux assessed; that the tax
upon its property was the same as that
upon all Of the lot owners within the
corporate limits Of the said city in ac.
oordancs with the rules Of law above
expressed. I think the prayer Of com'
claimants bill should be denied and
that defendants should have Judgment;
that co%mplninant's bill be dismissed
and for their costs in this case"
