        "text": "Mr. Justice Carter\ndelivered the opinion of the court:\nThis is a bill filed in the superior court of Cook county on July 9, 1909, by the receiver of the Chicago Terminal Transfer Railroad Company, praying that the county treasurer be restrained from selling for unpaid sanitary district taxes certain property of the said company. After issues joined a hearing was had and a decree entered dismissing the bill for want of equity. From that decree this appeal has been prosecuted.\nThe property on which this tax was levied is situated in that part of the Sanitary District of Chicago which was annexed to the district under the provisions of an act en- ' titled \u201cAn act in relation to the Sanitary District of Chicago,\u201d etc., approved May 14, 1903, in force July 1, 1903. (Hurd\u2019s Stat. 1908, p. 384.) It is contended that said act is in contravention of sections 9 and 10 of article 9 and sections 13 and 22 of article 4 of the constitution. This act was held constitutional in City of Chicago v. Town of Cicero, 210 Ill. 290. While all of the provisions of the constitution here invoked by appellant were not discussed by this court in that case, yet the reasoning of the opinion, in effect, disposes of all the questions raised by appellant in this case. The chief arguments advanced here were pressed upon the attention of the court in that case. The main contention of appellant in this case is, that the act is unconstitutional because the legislature could not provide for the annexation of the additional territory to the sanitary district without a vote of the people. In discussing that question in the former case, after a review of many of the authorities cited by the appellant in this case, we said (p. 295) : \u201cAll municipal corporations are subject to legislative control, and may be changed, modified, enlarged, restrained or abolished to suit the exigencies of the case. * * * The legislature may obtain the consent of the people in the locality to be affected, or not, as they may deem best, and the question whether the consent of a majority in the territory to be annexed or the consent of the whole town shall be required is one which addresses itself solely to the legislature.\u201d The doctrine there laid down has been for many years the established law of this State. It would serve no useful purpose to consider here again this rule of law or cite the authorities in its support. That decision must control in this case.\nThe decree of the superior court will be affirmed.\nDecree affirmed.",
