LEGAL CONTEST
IS LOOKED FOR
PATTERSON, DOWNING & CO. ASK
COUNCIL TO AMEND TAX
ORDINANCE.
They Do Not Think Naval Stores
Consigned to Order is a Subject
for Tax Assessor.

The city council of Brunswick is
at present bait ling WITH PROPOSE
tion that promises to cut some figure
In the finances of the city as regards
her receipts on taxes, ana may wind
up in a law suit At the meeting of
that bodNA held Thursday evening.
Patterson, Downing & Co, through
Maj. C. Downing. filed protest
against the collection of taxes on ma
val stores belonging to companies,
while in course of transit.
Mr.. Downing urged council to re-
consider the matter irrespective of
any right to collect this tax, on the
ground that it was inexpeIient to the
commerce of the port in this manner
stating that Savannah and Jackson
willie were all ignting for all the bus
iness that came to Brunswick, and
did not tax such commodities as ma
val stores, lumber ties, etc
The city assessors In their return
for 1902 included about 100000 of
this class OF merchandise, ami the
clerk OF court was instructed by counr
Gil to enter it on the digest against
the respective owners. Tne tax, mere
fore is a considerable item, over
$4,000, and if the city attorney, to
whom the legal side of the question
was referred, gives his opinion that
it is legal litigation may be expect
ed, as several Of the owners have
announced their intention of fignt-
ing it. 1t is understood council is di
yided on the question, some holding
to the idea that if it is legal it would
be unjust to relieve them in discrim-
nation against other tax payers: 9th
ors that to collect is unwise and
would damage the commerce of the
port
