Description
WHITFIELD, J. -- This appeal is from orders denying temporary injunctions and sustaining demurrers to an amended bill of complaint which in effect seeks to enjoin the collection of ad valorem taxes upon lands levied under Chapter 8828, Special Acts of 1921, which statute incorporates ""a Special Taxing District in St. Lucie County, Florida, to be known and designated as Jensen Bridge District. Among other matters it is in effect contended, under supporting allegations admitted by the demurrers, that appellants' lands included in the bridge district are so located and conditioned with reference to the contemplated bridge that such lands can in no conceivable way receive any benefit whatsoever from the construction of the bridge and that the inclusion of such lands within the district and the levy upon the lands of the particular tax to construct the bridge, is an arbitrary exercise and abuse of governmental power that invades appellants' organic property rights. The appellees insist that the Legislature has not exceeded its power in forming the district and in providing for the ad valorem tax on all property in the district to pay for the construction of the bridge.
