AUDITOR EXPLAINS RULING
Tells of Attitude of Council Finance
Committee on Recent Ruling OF
Judge Richardson in Hastings
Court-City To Take Appeal.

Speaking 10 a number of retail ncr-
chants OF the city on the ruling Of
Judge u. c. Richardson. in the Hust-
inGs Court, on the taxation of mer-
chants, at meeting held under tho
auspices OF the South Richmond Demo-
cratic club last night, City Auditor
George s. Crenshaw said that there
was no disposition on the part of city
officers to Cypress any one. but that
sl5o,ocS deficiency caused by the courts
ruling.
The discussion was brought about by
the ruling OF Judge RichardSon who
held that the city. under the new tax
laws. could tax merchant only 80
cents on the 500 of capital, as against
$i.io in former years. City Attorney
Pollard is preparing TO appeal tho de-
c!S!on to the state Supreme Court ~
Appeals. but as the annual budget of
the city was determined by the csti-
mated revenues, the Finance Commit
tee of tn" Council is endcavoring To
make up the deficiency.
l.. T.. Ullman. representing more than
500 retail groCcrs. members of the Re-
tail Merchants Association. said that
the merchants preferred 20 have the
tax ratc-Sl.io on the 500 Of capital
remain the same. rather than a rcduc-
ton in their rate. The grocer he said
usually has only a small capital. but
makes a quick turnover on his money
invested, sometimes as often TWEEN
ty-tivc 10 thirty times q year. To be
taxed on his purchases would cause. he
said. the small merchant to bear more
than an equitable portion OF taxation.
