J. Harvey Whitney v. Hillsborough County

STRUM, J. -- This is a tax-payer's suit in equity to enjoin the further collection of taxes to pay certain bonds issued by Hillsborough county pursuant to Chapter 10140, Acts of 1925, and to enjoin the payment of said bonds. The attack is primarily against the validity of said Chapter 10140, the authorizing Act. The proceedings taken by the county officers under the Act are not questioned, save that the bill alleges that the Act ""has been used for the levy of a tax for the benefit of a chartered private corporation.""
