Turner v. City of Detroit
Michigan Supreme Court
Appeal from Wayne. (Hosmer, J.) Bill to restrain the collection of taxes assessed for the construction of a sidewalk in front of complainant’s premises. Complainant appeals from decree sustaining demurrer. The facts are stated in the opinion.
1Opinion of the CourtGrant, J.
Complainant is the owner of a lot facing on the boulevard in the city of Detroit. She was notified by the board of park commissioners to construct a stone sidewalk in front of her lot. She refused to do so, and the board constructed the walk, at an expense of $57. The lot was assessed for this amount, and the assessment roll placed in the hands of the receiver of taxes for collection, who was proceeding to enforce the same under the provisions of law. She thereupon filed a bill in equity to restrain such collection. A demurrer was interposed and sustained.
