T i.c de, mi,m was the first to made 011 that pnase of Indiana’s $1 5b tax lim-

itation law.

The case originated in Lagrange county where Maude Murray, a resc dent of Milford township, brought suit to enjoin Die levying cf a tax rate of line than $1 lit in 1922. The countv t.i, adjustment hoard Lad fixed .1 rate of $° 06 on the ground* that un emergent-, existed. A demurer to the nl wj ii-tamed and the - upreme court’- tiding yesterday

The question wa raised in the suit j ii*- to what oustitntes an emergency 1 and the supreme court aid the power j in determine that question was given to the tax adjustment boards. It also was painted out hy the court that the legislatuie provided fot appeal to the stale tax hoard from the county

hoard’s order and said

"The legislature provided these two hoar! to safeguard the taxpayers and when they have acted and have made a final termination of the tax levy, m our judgment, their actkn is final, unles it lie shown that the -aid lav lev n were fraudulently and di hone tly fixed by the aul tax
