People ex rel. Dailey v. Illinois Central Railroad, 271 Ill. 230 (1915)

Dec. 22, 1915 · Illinois Supreme Court

271 Ill. 230

The People ex rel. A. J. Dailey, County Collector, Appellee, vs. The Illinois Central Railroad Company, Appellant.

Opinion filed December 22, 1915.

This case is controlled by the decision in People v. Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railway Co. (ante, p. 195-)

Appeal from the County Court of Coles county; the Hon. John P. Harrah, Judge, presiding.

Edward C. Craig, Donald B. Craig, and James W. Craig, Jr., (John G. DrEnnan, of counsel,) for appellant.

R. G. Hammond, State’s Attorney, Charles C. Lee, L. T. Yeargin, and T. N. Coeer, for appellee.

Mr. Justice Carter

delivered the opinion of the court:

The appellant railroad company objected to certain road and bridge taxes for the year 1914 returned as delinquent as to certain townships in Coles county. These objections were overruled in the county court and this appeal was then taken.

The objections urged as to these road and bridge taxes are the same objections, apparently on an identical record, that were urged in People v. Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railway Co. (ante, p. 195.) That decision as to these objections must control here. Under the reasoning of that case the county court ruled correctly as to said road and bridge taxes.

The judgment of the county court will be affirmed.

Judgment affirmed.
