Illinois Supreme Court

Decided February 15, 1935No. 22727. Judgment affirmedPublishedCited by 6 opinions

1Opinion of the CourtJustice Orr

The question here is whether the circuit court of Greene county erred in awarding a writ of mandamus against the Eldred Drainage and Levee District and its commissioners in 1933, “commanding them forthwith to proceed to levy and collect a special assessment upon the lands within said district” for an amount sufficient to pay a $3000 judgment rendered in that court in 1929 in favor of Lizzie Farrow.

The judgment above referred to was affirmed by the Appellate Court for the Third District (268 Ill. App. 432,) and later a petition for certiorari was denied…
