General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
Schneider Granite Co. v. Gast Realty & Inv. Co., 245 U.S. 288 (1917)
Schneider Granite Company v. Gast Realty & Investment Company No. 461, 473 Argued October 11, 12, 1917 Decided December 10, 1917 245 U.S. 288
ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT
OF THE STATE OF MISSOURI
Syllabus
A street improvement tax having been laid upon abutting property under a city ordinance, partly according to frontage and partly according to area, and the state court having sustained it in toto, this Court reversed its judgment upon the sole ground that the assessment based on area had produced results in conflict with the Fourteenth Amendment, and sent the case back for further proceedings not inconsistent with the opinion. Upon a second review, held that the questions whether the part of the tax based on frontage was severable, though the other part was void, and whether, and by what agency, a new and just area assessment should be made, were questions of state law, untouched by this Court’s decision and mandate, and left for determination by the state court. Gast Realty Co. v.Schneider Granite Co., 240 U.S. 55, explained.
269 Mo. 561 affirmed.
The case is stated in the opinion.
