Frost, city treasurer, to enjoin the sale of certain land for the taxes of 1901. From a decree for complainant for a portion of said land, it appeals.
1Opinion of the CourtCarpenter, J.
The object of this suit is to enjoin the sale of ten parcels of land for the, nonpayment .of taxes assessed thereon by the city in 1901. The trial court gave complainant relief as to parcels 8 and 9, but held it liable to pay either all or part of the taxes assessed against the other parcels. Complainant paid the taxes on parcels 4 and 6, and asks this court on this appeal to decree that it is not liable to pay taxes on the other parcels. The principal ground upon which complainant seeks relief is that the parcels of land in question are by law exempt from taxátion.
