Rehearing denied November 16, 1953. This is an action in condemnation brought by the Chicago Park District against the Downey Coal Company, an Illinois corporation and defendant-appellee. Defendant coal company obtained an order of the circuit court of Cook County directing John B. Brenza, county treasurer of Cook County, with whom the condemnation award had been deposited, to pay the balance of the award to the coal company without a deduction for the lien of 1952 general real-estate taxes. Treasurer Brenza prosecutes an appeal directly to this court, a question of revenue being involved.
