Head Matter:
Thorn, appellant, v. Nott.
Tax — school tax—excessive levy — error on tax roll.
Defendant, a school district collector, to collect a tax of between $5 and $6 levied upon and sold a buggy wagon worth upward of $50. There was other property of less value he could have taken. Held, that the collector was entitled to levy on the property, and was not liable for an excessive levy in doing so.
The fact that the total footing up of the separate assessments on the tax roll was $7 more than the amount directed to be levied, did not invalidate the tax. At most, it could only affect it to the extent of the discrepancy.
Abram Thorn, appellant in person.
R. C. Titus, for respondent.
