Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Taxation — Levy of Taxes — Authority of County Glerk. The law delegates authority to the boards of county commissioners in the different counties in Kansas, and to no other person, to levy county taxes. A county clerk has no authority to levy a tax on the property of an individual, and such levy when made is void.</p> <p>2. - Involuntary Payment — Recovery. A tax levied without authority of law and involuntarily paid may be recovered back in an action for that purpose.</p>
