Court Judge Werts has granted writ
of mandamus to John Fl. Snyder, of
Orange, which will bring before the
supreme court for review the act under
which the state board Of taxation now
operates, for the purpose of testing its
constitutionality. John Snyder is rep
resented by Leon Albeit, Jr. During
the present year Mr.. Snyder declined to
pay his tax to the collector of Orange
until certain deductions have been made
for debts. The matter was taken before
the state board of taxation, and after
hearing arguments they ordered the
debts to be deducted from the bill.
After the decision was rendered the
collector of Orange applied to have it re.
opened, but the state board refused the
application. Snyder then offered to pay
the tax. but the collector refused to re-
ceive it, and still refuses. The assess
ment is of course lien on Snyder's prop
erty, which he wants removed, and his
only remedy was to compel the collector
to accept the money. The matter will
be argued at the next term Of the su-
preme court The collector acted by ad-
vice Of the authorities of Orange, and the
constitutionality of the tax act and the
board to interfere with local authorities
VIII probably be called in question at
the argument.
