• 20 Fla. 697

Syllabus

<p>1. A levy of general municipal taxes upon real and personal property in 1882 was not authorized by law, the power to assess having been abrogated by chapter 3024, laws of 1877, and the sale of land for taxes attempted to be levied in that year was properly enjoined. A dissolution of the injunction was erroneous.</p> <p>2. Such injunction will not operate to prevent the future collection of taxes, the levy of which was validated by chapter 3477, laws, approved March 5, 1883. The validity of that act was sustained-in the case of city of Jacksonville vs. Basnett, decided at this term.</p>
