QUITE an interesting controversy Is brew
ing between the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad Company and Hardin County in
regard to county taxes, and is attracting
considerable attention. 1t is said that the
affair grew out Of the discovery on the
part Of the company that 1t could not be
taxed for pauper purposes, and when
Sheriff Lee called for the taxes day or
two ago he was informed that the road
owed the county nothing, but on the other
hand that the county owed the road 5000.
The company claims that it has paid that
sum in taxes that were illegal, and there
fore entitled to a return Of the money. As
Sheriff Lee has no discretion in the matter,
he will have to levy on the roads property,
which will take the controversy to the
courts.
