The opinion

*235

BUFORD, C. J.,

dissenting in part:

I think the Acts, Chapter 10760 and Chapter 10761, Acts of 1925, were void ab initio as decided in State ex rel. Davis v. City of Largo, 110 Fla. 21 , 149 So. 420 . My opinion is that there is no authority to assess taxes on any property outside the original Town of Largo to produce money to pay the bonds.

BROWN, J., concurs.
