SENSATION
SPRUNG
TO FILE SUIT
AGAINST COURT
Spears & Spears to Take Ac-
ton Against 15C Tax Levy
In Behalf of 7. c., |. 6 R'y
Co. and Other Corpora.
tiOns in County

A sensation has been created in this
county by tbs announcement that q
suit was eminent from the 7. c.. l, &
R'y Co. to enjoin the county court OF
bring suit against the county court
for issuing the 15c tax levy for road
bonds at its usual session prior to the
time the road bonds were sold. A
number of other companies will be
included in the suit, it is said, includ-
ing the Dixie Portland Cement Co ,
of Richard City. and the NJ, G. & st.
L. R'y. A considerable amount of ex-
ira taxes is involved, and the compan-
les bringing suit feel that it is not
Just for them to pay this tax.
Spears and Spears, very eminent
firm of lawyers i'll Chattanooga, re-
Gently sent check to Trustee b. Long,
of this county for $4.510 81, rendering
it to the trustee in ayment of the tax
es on the properties Of the I. c., l.
81 R'y Co. in this county, basing
their calculations on the taxes against
/ the company for the preceding year
This was refused by the trustee, as
not enough. The amount of tax as
sessed against the 7. c., l. d R'y
Co, this year is "a. 8s9.72 Some $1s, :
900 ia involved in the suit.
i This suit has created wide discus
sion. The T. c., & R'y Go. has
been claimed to be for the bonding OF
the county all the time of the fierce
contest over the matter between the
people and the few individuals who
have been seeking higher taxes for the
benefit Of the Dixie Highway. The
action of the Hamilton County Court
over the Suck Creek road is bringing
the matter into more prominence as
an extremely costly undertaking, in
volving enormous expenditures OF
money, more bonds and more taxes.
The suit, if successful. will defeat
the present bond sale, and reverse the
action of the court in voting the 15e
levy. The present tax rate is 50 O5,
raised from 81 80, on the 500. The
bonds we're sold January 19, 1916, and
the tax levy was made Jan. 3. 1916,
A previous levy of e5c had been made
in September, 1915, but wa 8 held mp
by the suit against the bond bill,
brought by large number OF leading
tax payers of Marion County, which
passed to the Supreme Court, and was
