Section 14 as amended has had the consideration of this court at the present term in People v. DeKalb and Great Western Railroad Co. (ante, p. 290,) and in People v. Cairo, Vincennes and Chicago Railway Co. (ante, p. 286,) and under the construction there given to the amendment to section 14 the objections to this additional tax were properly overruled.\nThe judgment of the county court of Iroquois county is therefore affirmed.
