1904 CITY TAX LEVY
Attorney j. M. Worten Files Injunction
Against the City.
The Question Indirectly Involves the $l85 Tax Levy
Made This Year.

day April 3rd.
The section of charter on which
Attorney worten bases part of his
action. is as follows:
Section 3t7i. 1.-THE city assessor
shall. In the year 1902. and every
four years thereafter, make an asses
ment of all real property within the
corporate limits thereof, and the as
sessment of the real property for
each of the. three years subsequent
to said quadrennial assessment shall
be fixed at the same values as finally
approved by the board of equaliza-
ton In said quadrennial assessment.
and shall annually MAKE an assess
ment of all taxable personal proper
~ within the corporate limits there
of. and shall correct the valuation of
any parcel of real estate on which
any new structure of over one hun
dred dollars in value may have mean
while been erected or on which any
structure OF like value shall have
been destroyed, and where transfers
of real estate have been made he
shall make the necessary changes in
the names of owners"
The suit Attorney Worten brought
of course directly affects no ones tax
es except his own, but the result of
his suit would indicate the result of
any other like II that might be
brought.
Not only that. however, but If
last years levy OF s1.65 is decided
invalid and allegal this years levy
recently made, s1.S5 is also illegal
and invalid. and not cent OF taxes
could be collected under IT IL the
tax payers wanted to resist it.
The question raised by Attorney
Worten involves several hundred
thousand dollars already collected
or to be collected, i'm city taxes.
