Opinion of the Court

Gileillan, C. J.

Taking this ease in the most favorable aspect for plaintiff, — that is, as an effort by the defendant to recover back money paid, — it is like that of City of Chaska v. Hedman, ante, p. 525, (55 N. W. Rep. 737,) in which we held that it was not a case for the doctrine applicable to voluntary payments. The decision upon that point renders unnecessary the consideration of the other assignments of error.

Order affirmed.
