Zangerle v. State ex rel. Heald
Zangerle v. State ex rel. Heald
Opinion of the Court
The relator, John C. Heald, as a citizen, taxpayer and owner of real estate in the city of Cleveland,-on August 17, 1916, brought an action in the court of common pleas of Cuyahoga county to enjoin John A. Zangerle, one of the plaintiffs in error, as auditor of that county, from placing upon the tax duplicate of Cuyahoga county for the year 1916 any valuations of real estate fixed by the assessors in 1910, or by the district assessors in 1914 and 1915, or by the assessors, assistant assessors and county auditor in 1916, and to enjoin him from certifying any duplicate- containing such valuations to the county treasurer, and further, to enjoin P. C. O’Brien, one of the plaintiffs in error, as treasurer of said county, from collecting any taxes upon said valuation.
It appears, however, from the petition that the district assessors provided for under the Warnes law adopted the valuations of the real property made in 1910, except as to a small part of the real estate, and that the county auditor in 1916 was attempting to place upon the tax duplicate for that year the values fixed by the assessors in the year
The only question presented here is whether the duplicate of 1916, as made up by the county auditor, is a legal one. The duplicate containing the valuations made in 1910 was in existence when the Warnes law became effective and the valuations of the real estate as shown by that duplicate were adopted and used in the years 1914 and 1915, except in so far as a part of the real property was valued in those years, and the duplicate of those years met the requirements of the Warnes law. In 1916, when the Parrett-Whittemore law became effective, the duplicate of 1915 was in existence and we can see no legal objection to the adoption of the valuations shown by it as the valúa
Judgment reversed.
