Hamman v. Clayton Municipal School District No. 1

The trial court concluded that it was without jurisdiction to consider the cause, but appellants urge before us that the injunction should have been granted for the reason, among others, that the levies to pay off the bonds violated § 1 of art. VIII of the New Mexico Constitution. The hearing in the trial court was upon stipulation, one of the stipulations being that the valuations in Quay and Union Counties were as above stated. However, in appellees answer brief, it was stated that, since the appeal, the assessment in Union County has been raised from $1.50 per acre to $2.20 per acre. In their reply brief, appellants took note of this comment and stated, "If this has been done, it would seem that this case is now moot and should be dismissed."
