Description

This suit was instituted by the City of San Antonio, a municipal corporation, organized and existing under the laws of the State of Texas as a home rule city, against Bexar County, a political subdivision of the State of Texas, to recover the sum of $285.92, for sewer charges rendered against certain properties belonging to the County which are used exclusively for public purposes and are connected with the Citys sewerage system. The account covered a period from March 17, 1960 to July 31, 1960. The charges were based upon rates fixed by an ordinance of the City dated March 17, 1960, and numbered 28,351, as amended by another ordinance of the City dated July 14, 1960, and numbered 28,732. The County refused to pay this bill, contending, among other things, that the ordinances upon which such sewer charges were based were unreasonable, arbitrary, confiscatory, void and illegal, and that the charges were in fact a tax levied by the City upon the County. The case was submitted largely upon stipulated facts, and the hearing resulted in judgment for the City against the County for the amount sued for. The County has prosecuted this appeal.
