Nearly si4oo in Back Taxes.

The national banks of Baltimore paid the
County Commissioners of Carroll at the rate
of 80 cents on the 500 on the stock held by
residents of the county, and agreed to pay
the remaining Is cents, Of the levy of 40
cents, should the courts decide that the stock
is taxable at the full rate. 1t will be remem-
bered the banks declined to pay more than
80 cents on the 500 in Baltimore, where the
ely levy was $500 ON the 500. A test case
was made and the United States Circuit Court
of Appeals recently decided in favor of the
city. This settled the principle that the stock
of national banks is taxable at the local rate
of taxation the same as other stocks, except
that specially taxed at 80 cents on the 500.
The value of the stocks of national banks
of Baltimore held by residents OF Carroll is
$3.50, 968. 81. Upon this there is due Is cent s
on the 500 for the last three years. This
amounts TO 81, ,264.35, with interest, amount
ing TO about $1,000 more, or total Of prin-
cipal and interest of $l36S.00.
The attorney for the banks wrote to John
E. Masenhimer, County Treasurer, on Mon
day, requesting him 10 render bills at once
for back taxes as the banks desired to pay up.
