The grounds of reversal insisted upon are all based upon the alleged invalidity of the ordinance authorizing the improvement, and levy of a special tax to pay for the same, in. that it provides \u201cthat the Alton, etc., Horse Railway shall pay the cost of the improvement inside of its tracks and one foot on the outside edge of its rails.\u201d White v. City of Alton, 149 Ill. 626, is decisive of all the questions raised on this record, against plaintiffs in error. See, also, Lightner v. City of Peoria, 150 Ill. 80, and cases cited.\nThe judgment of the county court will be affirmed.\nJudgment affirmed.",
