TAX CASES WILL BE HEARD ON 2OTH INST.
Question of Collecting Taxes on
 University Lands.I
PAYMENT WILL BE RESISTED
In 1889 Attorney General Martin Gave an Opinion on the Question, Hold ing That University Lands
 Were Not Taxable

The county board of revenue has set of collecting back taxes on University of Alabama lands situated in Jefferson county will come up for hearing.
 1t will be recalled that Tax Commissioner the executive committee of the board of trustees of the university and on Governor Johnston, ex-offlcio president of the board of trustees, that he had levied an assess ment on something over 1S.OOO acres of land in Jefferson county belonging to the uni versity, at the rate of $12.5o per acre, for the years, 1895, 1896, 1897, 1898, and 1899. the total amount which he sought to collect ag- gregating nearly $lO00O.
 The matter has attracted great deal of attention since the action of the back tax commissioner became public, more or less political significance being attached to it.
 The trustees of the university will resist the payment of the tax in the courts of the state. If the board of revenue decides that property belonging to that institution is subject to taxation.
 In connection with the levying of this tax the friends or the university have present. ed the following:
 ''The question of whether the lands of the University of Alabama were subject to tax ation came up in 1889, during the term of Auditor Hogan, and was by him submitted to Attorney General Martin for his opinion thereon. The attorney general answered the question in the negative, basing his opinion upon section 451 of the code of 1886 (S907 of the code of 1s90 exempting the prop erty of the state from taxation, and also upon section 1863 of the code of 1886 (3672 of the code of 1S96), and Clay's digest section 21, page 5S6
 Section 1863 of the code of 1886 (3672 of the code of 1S96) is as follows: Tn addition to the rights, properties, privileges and franchises herein granted, all rights, prop critics, privileges and franchises heretofore by any act of the general assembly grant, ed to- or vested in the University of Ala bama, shall vest and continue in such cor poration'
 "Section 21, page 5S6, Clay's digest, is as follows: The estate both real and personal. of the said corporation shall be free and forever exempt from taxes, and the persons of all officers, servants and students, be- longing to said university, shall, during their continuance there, be exempt from taxes, serving on jures, working on roads and ordinary military duty (From acts of 1882, page 26.)

Meat and Milk Inspectors Sworn in as
 Special Officers

and Meat Inspector Peterman were sworn in as special police officers yesterday morn- dng, C.. c. Chiles, chairman of the police commission, administering the oath. As- sistant Meat Inspector Kirkland will be sworn in tomorrow. These officers will probably not have occasion to make many arrests for violation of the meat and milk ordinance, but the mayor thought it best to have them clothed with police authority, as cases might arise when it would be necessary for them to exercise it. It was at the mayors request that Chairman Chlles administered the oath.
 MT. Fleming is giving his attention only to meat inspection this week, but next week he will begin the inspection of milk

ROYAL COUSINS ARE TO MARRY

Enlargement OF Prince George sud
Fri" cess Victoria Announced.
London, Nov. 15.-Royalty is inter-
ested today in the unofficial an
nouncement Of the engagement Of
Prince George OF Greece and Princess
Victoria of Wales. They are first cou-
sins. Rumors and denials Of the story
have been plenty, but the report now
seems to be reliable. Another week or
SO, 1t is said, and the formal and OH.
cial announcement will be made.
The foncy Of romance and Of pictur-
eque wooing has prevailed in this roy
al alliance. Manly and vigorous of
mien, Prince George captivated his
fair fancee as they listened to the COO
ing Of the birds In the gardens around
the castle OF Fredensburg In Denmark
this summer. And when the princess
with her mother, the princess of
Wales, returned to Sandringham, the
scion from Greece hurried thither on
the next train.
1t is reported that the sanction Of
the princess parents was obtained
soon after the arrival. Late today the
princess Of Wales, Prince George and
possibly Princess Victoria will visit
Queen Victoria, at Windsor, and, it Is
believed, they are going for the cole
purpose of gaining her consent to the
royal wedding. .o5
