argued.-a pending controversy between
the State and the Wetumpka dispensary'
The State claims $500 license Of the ans
pensary and the dispensary claims that
1t should not be taxed but 800. Under
the act creating dispensaries In towns
and cities they are required to pay the
total amount Of license paid by an
whiskey dealers in the same territory
for the year 1898. The State claims that
In 1888 three wiiiskey dealers paid license
of 800 to do business In Wetumpka ana
consequently the wetumpka dispensary
must pay the State $500.
The dispensary contends that but two
retail 'whlsSkey dealers paid the license
and that the third dealer conducted a
wholesale business. The dispensary
therefore asks to be relieved OF $2o0 OF
the tax assessed against 1t.
