the city solicitor and the back tax
collector claims the right to enforce
the collection. and Judge Reed VIII

Mr.. Phllley. James Campbell. Sr., Is
attorney for the Paduoah Light a.
Power company. and Wheeler a
Hughes for the Paduoah Traction
company. City Solicitor James
Campbell. Jr.. filed the first suit for
the city.
The actions grow out OF Of the re-
cent discovery that the state and not
the city should have assessed fran

four years. The city had collected

hit and miss plan OF local assess

when the treasurer secured the
state assessments for the last five
years. some controversy arose as 10
the specific amount due. especially
from the Stone & Webster coopora-
tions. which own property outside
the city limits. and which II II claim
ed. should not be asscssed for city
purposes. on this issue u was
agreed between the city. represent
ed by the solicitor, and the attorneys
for the corporations, that they take
the matter before Judge Reed for
decision.
The city treasurer. however. held
other views lie insisted that the
matter OF collection was In his hands

should elapse and then It was up to
the back tax collector. Mr.. Campbell

The corporations now have nothing
TO do. but to walt until the court de-
cldes who shall do the collecting.

to recover s5.G96.t2 from the trac-
ton company. while Mr.. Philley sues
for s7.193O9. which includes the
fee of tsu per cent. Against the Pa
dncah Light & Power company, City
Solicitor Campbell filed suit TO re-
