This is an appeal from- a judgment rendered against the court house square of the county of McLean, in favor of the city of Bloomington, upon a special assessment for the improvement of adjacent streets.
The objections urged may be included under three heads: First, the property is exempt from special assessments; second, the statute under which the city is proceeding does not authorize any assessment against property of the county; third, the judgment can not be enforced by sale of the property, and no other mode of enforcing the payment of such judgment can be resorted to.
