STATE BONDS HELD
 FREE OF TAXATION
Nesmith Makes Ruling in Bessemer Bank Vs.
 Tax Collector

Judge c. C. Nesmith of the first division of the city court held yesterday morning that in ascertaining the value of the stock shares of a bank the value of all Ala bama state bonds must be deducted in reference to taxation,
 The case at hand was that of the Bes- semer National bank against George Tar rant. tax collector for Jefferson county, in which the plaintiff sought to get the benefit of the exemption law in reference to state bonds. which are exempted from taxation both by the constitution and the statutes of the state, but on which it was alleged taxes were collected.
 It is required by law that the shares of stock of a bank be taxed according to their market value. The Bessemer bank alleges that in fixing the value of stock held, the amount of state bonds car ried by the bank were included, and so taxed. It was to recover this part of the taxes that the suit was brought.
 Judge Nesmith ruled the state bonds ex- empt. The case will probably be taken to the supreme court.
