Clifford against school district No. 1 in the town of Magnolia, and to restrain the collection of a tax to pay such judgment. The cause was before the court on a former appeal (55 Wis. 161), and from the report thereof and from the opinion herein the facts will sufficiently appear.
1Opinion of the CourtTatlob, J.
This action, like many others, grows out of a disagreement among the electors of a school district upon the subject of the erection and location of a new schoolhouse in the district. The respondents and plaintiffs claim tobe tax-payers in said district; the appellants the Clif-fords were the contractors, who claimed to have constructed a new school-house for said district; and Hartley and Brown are the clerk and treasurer of the town in which said district is situate, and their connection with the case arises from the fact that the town clerk inserted in the tax roll a tax to pay a judgment…
