Judge Sullivan on llic Wnlur CllHO Tlio fullowiiiu i iliu upin'on ' of Judgull.M Sullivan IIH made 11 uinltcr of record in I ho Water Woikn case against uity nRK-HCorH Osbornu , in which a petition \\aH tiled in the district court asking tin court to order the atBOFHor to in oroaso the valuation the city property orty tiiutnal value.

Before thid can hi1 clono'tlio tax payer in entitled to Inn day in court , llo iH a ncocHHary party , and not having been made a party the writ ought not to issue. Again , if iho relief Hought by relater bo accorded him the effect will bo that tlio valtnlion of the property of the city will bo four timid greater than hkj property of the Hame value hi other partH of the 'county. ' With this condition it would become the absolute duty of the ooiuit } board , when hilling ; IH a board of eqiulim lo tquilr/,0 Iho valuations of the property of the city wiih iho olhor property of iho coun ty.

This would bo effected by in creasing slightly the valuation of the of the olher twenty four districts and very largely reducing the valuation - uation of the city. Atsuming that cauh assessor di * > - tnot has the same aggregate valua- lion of property by increasing the valuation as returned by iho as sessor of iho other twenty four districts four per oout , Iho board of equalization could then rodneo the valuation oonlendi'd for by the ro 1 itor ono hundred per cent , and it would bo its duty HO to do , so that if iho assessor of the i-ity in obedience lo iho wril sought by relater should increase the valua tion of property as prayed by him it wou'd ' become the duly of iho bontd of equal.ition ) to restore thu valuation practically to the amount of which it now is.
