The opinion

Mr. Justice DeYoung,

dissenting:

The tax-payer’s right to have separately stated the purposes for which public money is appropriated or a tax is levied is a substantial right of which he may not be deprived. (People v. Missouri Pacific Railroad Co. 332 Ill. 53 .) The levy of $10,000 for “assessment and collection of revenue,” in my opinion, is not sufficiently itemized and does not give the tax-payer the information to which he is entitled.
