CHICAGO TAX DECISION
Courts Hold Assessment Of
Stocks Of Public Utilities
Was Too High.
Refuses. However. to Grant In-
junction Until Fair Rate
Is Paid.
Corporations by the Ruling Will
Have to Pay $5.OOO,00O
in Taxes.

Chicago, April 4.-The decision of
Judges Grosscup and Humphrey, fed
eral circuit and district courts re-
spectively. in the injunction cases
brought by seven Chicago public util-
ity corporations to prevent collections
of taxes assessed as the result of the
mandamus proceedings in the state
courts some time ago., was read from
the bench by Judge Grosscup today.
1t is in the nature of compromise.
The court finds the reassessment was
from 80 to 40 per cent too high on the
stocks CT the companies affected, but
declines to enjoin various officials from
collecting this extra money until the
corporations shall have paid in sixty on
seventy per cent, which amount it re-
CARDS as just. BY this ruling the cor
porations will have to pay about five
million in taxes before the injunction
lis issued. The court appointed masters
to determine the exact amounts which
should be collected.

Officials unfounded.

DIR. Brose S. Horne to substantiate his
charges against Warned Reid and Dep

that it was shown the allegations had
practically no foundation. complete
exoneration of the officials is therefore
expected when the official investigation
and probing take place.
DIR. Horne refused to go on because
Director Bundy was not present at the
meeting of the prison board, and he also
declined to give the names of his wit
