Harrison v. City of Chicago
Illinois Supreme Court
Harrison v. City of Chicago, 60 Ill. 360 (Ill. 1871)
Harrison v. City of Chicago
Opinion of the Court
This judgment must be reversed on the ground that the city collector had no authority to apply for the judgment. The proceedings under the new assessment do not definitely show upon what basis such assessment was made, and, as the case stands, we can not say that they were illegal.
The judgment is reversed and the cause remanded.
Judgment reversed.
