TAXPAYERS ARE INTERESTED.
at Chicago Fixing the Status OF
the Review Board.

Chicago, Aug. 2.-In a decision rem
dered by Judge Carter, of the county
court, the power of the board OF re-
view to pass finally upon the valua-
lions OF all property within the county
for taxing purposes is declared to ba
absolute. No right of appeal is granted
to taxpayers whose property mas been
over-assessed unless fraudulent mo-
tives on the part Of the assessors or
members of the board of review can
be clearly shown.
The gist of the decision, delivered
by Judge Carter while sitting en- banc
with Judges Wheatley and Thompson,
is that the civil courts have no juriS-
diction to hear complaints of property
owners, even when the valuations fixed
by the taxing boards are apparently
excessive. The decision was read to
100 lawyers representing $50 property
owners against whom the county treas
urer is seeking to secure delinquent
Judgments for taxes aggregating ST.,
U1S,413.
