in the order Of Chancellor Curtis
handed down in the case of the Tax
payers League for an injunction re-
garding the $500 paid to the Board
Of Assessment, Revision and Appeals.
The decision at this time does not
include mandatory order for the
return Of the money to the city. The
Chancellor, however, says in the or
der: There is no moral claim Of the
members of the board fer extra COM

members Of the board TO perform all
the extra duties imposed on them as
such officials by the act of 1918, and
they we're not entitled to be paid
extra compensation for the extra SER
