Illinois Supreme Court
Appeal from the "Circuit Court of Wabash county; the Hon. Charles H. Miller, Judge, presiding.
1Opinion of the CourtJustice Farmer
W. K. Wood and others filed a bill in the circuit court of Wabash county, which county is not under township organization, to enjoin the collection of a hard road tax in road district No. 6, in said county. A special election had been held in said road district in August, 1919, to vote on the question of levying an annual tax for five years for the construction of hard roads. A majority of the votes cast was for levying the tax. The circuit court sustained a demurrer to the bill and dismissed it for want of equity, and the complainants appealed.
