Analysis
No analysis yet. When one exists it is a model's reading of this opinion — the rulings it reviewed, whether it agrees with the court, and the authorities it checked — shown beside the court's own disposition, never in place of it. How analyses are made.
Opinion
The Court:
Under the Charter of the City of Santa Cruz (Stat. 1875-*691876, p. 189, etc.), the Common Council of the city has power to lay out and improve streets within the city, and to raise money therefor by assessment and taxation. The Court below found that all the streets and alleys within the city limits are wholly maintained, improved, and kept in repair by the city. Therefore, according to Section 2664, Political Code, the appellant had no authority to collect taxes for road purposes from inhabitants of or property within the city.
Judgment affirmed.
