TO DISMISS SUITS
COUNSEL APPLIES TO BOARD OF
 REVENUE.
Makes Point That Lower Wetumpka Road Crossing and Perry Street Extension Are in City of
 Montgomery.

Counsel for the Seaboard Air Line Rail- way Company and the Montgomery Trac- tion Company, appeared before the Board of Revenue at it's weekly meeting yes- terday and asked that suits filed against these companies by the county be dis missed.
 The county is suing the Seaboard Ar Line Railway for blocking a county road crossing on the Lower Wetumpka Road. The suit against the Traction Company is to require that company to remove its tracks from the extension of Perry Street.
 the contention being that the tracks were not laid according to the terms Of the franchises granted by the Board of Rev. enue.
 The application for a dismissal of the two suits was based on the contention that the Lower Wetumpka Road crossing
 and the Perry Street extension are both
 within the territory of Greater Montgonl- cry and are consequently outside the ju- risdiction of the Board of Revenue. The matter was taken under consider ation by the Board of Revenue: Major S. T. Westcott, Clerk of the
 Board. submitted the following statement
