sell the same. The decision by the su
preme conrt is to the effect that where a
tax sale has been made under an ille
gal assessment, the owner of the prop
erty is entitled to a decree restraining
the county from asserting its title unaer
a purchase at such sale, out tnis in-,
junction will not extend to forbidding
r . .... t . !, t.
tbe county Irom asserting us ngm, ii ii

property and collect. Taxes mnst be
legal, otherwise county may not enforce
payment. Clackamas county appealed
from the decision of the lower court and
lost.
