Description
The Frontier Refining Company brought two actions against the City of Rawlins, seeking to recover diesel fuel taxes previously levied under the authority of Ordinance 199 and paid under protest. This plaintiff also asked for an injunction against further enforcement of the ordinance. V-1 Oil Company applied for an injunction against the city to prevent the enforcement of Ordinance 199, providing for a license tax against the wholesalers of diesel fuel and Ordinance 171, providing for a like tax upon gasoline wholesalers. Frontier contended that Ordinance 199 was unconstitutional; V-1 charged that the city was without statutory authority to levy these taxes, that they were not uniform, and were confiscatory. The three cases were consolidated for trial, the parties consenting, and the matter heard upon an agreed statement of facts and stipulations. The court made a general finding for the plaintiffs and against the defendants, decreed recovery of the taxes previously paid by Frontier, and made permanent a temporary injunction previously entered in favor of V-1.
