10-7-32. Actions to recover taxes.
It shall also be competent for any municipality to bring a civil action against any party
owning or operating any such railway liable to pay such taxes to recover the amount thereof, or
any part thereof, delinquent and unpaid, in any court having jurisdiction of the amount, and obtain
judgment and have execution therefor, and no property, real or personal, shall be exempt from
any such execution; provided, that real estate shall not be levied upon by execution except by
execution out of the district court on judgment therein, or transcript of judgment filed therein, as
is now or hereafter may be provided by law. No defense shall be allowed in any such civil action
except such as goes to the groundwork, equity and justice of the tax, and the burden of proof shall
rest upon the party assailing the tax. In case part of such special tax shall be shown to be invalid,
unjust or inequitable, judgment shall be rendered for such amount as is just and equitable.
