which C. L. Albrook Is plaintiff and
+. H. Noble, j. B. Blocker. county

auditory l.. 3. Tucker, county record
or, and Hardin county are defendants.
The case is to come up at the Octo-
Der term and the outcome will be
watched with intense interest by sew
eral hundred people who are inter-
es ed.
The suit grows out Of sale Of the
homestead Of Mr.. Albrook, situated on
out lot Is. Eldora town plat, on ac-
count of his failure to pay 1915, his
portion 81 costs alleged to have been
incurred in surveying and plating said
look chapter Ii, title v, of the code.
for his authority for such survey and
plat.
Mr. Albrook refused to pay the costs,
and the same was entered on the tax
book and assessed up against his
homestead, and at the tax sale las.
November the homestead was sold to
defendant, +. H. Noble, who holds a
tax certificate for the property.
The plaintiff states that the sale by
the county treasurer was illegal and
void for want Of authority to make
the same: that the county auditor had
no authority to order said survey or
to make said plat or to file the same
when made in the county recorders
office; that in making said plat said
county auditor and surveyor attempted
to change the description and boun-
daries and location of the petitioners
property.
The plaintiff prays restraining or
der against the defendants from main.
tanning the records as they are now
maintained in their offices, and from
enforcing any rights. whatsoever on
account of said pretended tax sale.
and that the assessment referred to
be cancelled Of record in the auditors
Office and in the treasurer's office, and
the said sale set aside and held for
receipt.
Hundreds Of pieces of property thru
out the county have been so plated
at heavy expense to the property hold
ers, and in many instances the ex-
pense has worked real hardship to
the property holders.
Mr.. Albrook declares he will pay that
tax when the supreme court decides he
must and not before.
1t will be test case and the final
outcome will be anxiously awaited and
Is now much speculated on.
