1Opinion of the Court
Smith, C. J.,
(after stating the facts). A very similar controversy sprung up between the tax paying residents and corporate authorities of the city of Raleigh, and was determined in Pullen v. Commissioners, 68 N. C., 451. The charter, as it then existed, authorized the commissioners, in order to raise a fund to meet the expenses of the government of the city, to annually levy and collect taxes: 1st.
