The facts are stated in the opinion, and in Latham v. Board of Assessors, ante, 509.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
The relator is the owner of 10 shares of the capital stock of the Detroit River Savings Bank, and asks a mandamus to compel the board of assessors to assess to said bank the value of the real-estate mortgages owned by it, and to deduct the value of such mortgages from the assessed value of its capital stock.
The facts in the case are similar to those in Latham v. Board of Assessors, ante.
The writ will issue as prayed.
