The opinion wus written by Jus

and other state officials. All of
the justices concurred in the opin
ion, with the excepUojj of Justice
Brown who is absent on account
of lllpess,
"The 1029 act is a revisory sta
tute,' read the supreme court
opinion. "It Ih not a revenue pro
ducing measure.: There is merely
a continuance ( of the tax levies
previously authorized. No addi
tional tax burden will be imposed.
Whether this act Is held constitu
tional or unconstitutional, plain
tiff, by reason thereof, Is obliged
to pay the same amount of taxes.

Solvit! Fnnrt Allocation
"In construing - the statute we
look to vvhat the legislature had In
mind to accomplish. Clearly there
was nut Intention to create addi

funds was tho problem which' tho

corporated certain sections per
