Menzies v. Board of Equalization

Application for writ of certiorari to the Board of Equalization of the County of Mono to review an order of the Board directing the Assessor to assess to the plaintiffs a mortgage standing in their names upon the records of the county which had not previously been assessed. The affidavit alleged that no notice was given by the Clerk of the proposed action by the Board, as required by Section 3681 of the Political Code, and further alleged as follows: “ That petitioners made this application to this Court in the first instance for the reason that the application will only present a question of law, which must in the end be determined by this Court; and for the further reason that there is not time to apply to the Superior Court, and by appeal to- this Court obtain a final judgment before the time fixed by law for the payment of taxes for said fiscal year.”
