Bankers Must Tell Tax
Board About Deposits.

The Supreme Court, in an opinion
by Judge Woodson, decided Satur.
day that bankers must tell County
Boards of Equalization what
amounts Of money have been depos.
tied by customers of their banks
when so requested.
The case came from Greene coun-
ty, where the County Board of
Equalization ordered William b.
Sanford, cashier of the Holland
Bank, in contempt for refusing to
give the deposits of II certain custu-
mer of that bank A writ of habeas
corpus was sued out in the Supreme
Court, but that court to-day quashed
the writ and ordered Sanford into
the custody OF the sheriff until he
answers the questions. Judge
Lamm dissented.
The opinion holds that If County
Boards of Equalization have not
the power to enforce their orders in
attempting to get information il is
powerless to equalize the assess
ments OF the property.
