Household Goods Worth Less Not > Sold for Delinquent Taxes. A county treasurer in Indiana has no power to sell household goods, the assessed value of which is less than SIOO, for the purpose of collecting delinquent taxes, according to the decision of the supreme court jin a case of Madison county citizens against George Beebe, county treasurer. i Suit was brought against Beebe ■to enjoin, him from selling household goods for delinquent taxes and the trial court refused to grant an injunction. It was the contention [of counsel for Beebe that the stat-' ute exempting household goods worth SIOO or less had been repealed impliedly by the legislature, but the supreme court held this law to be in force.
