## Opinion text

SEBRING, J.,
concurring in part and dissenting in part:
. I concur in part and dissent in part. I agree with the conclusion that no fraud was established but I cannot agree that under the taxing statutes, as applied to the facts of the case, any legal authority now exists for back assessing the properties involved in the suit.
BROWN and THOMAS, JJ., concur.
