Supervisors Sued BY State.
Attorney-General Collins has filed a
bill in the chancery court of Kinds
county, the purpose Of which is to
hold the five members of the board of
supervisors of Washington county liza
BILE on their official bonds of $4,000
each for alleged breach of public duty.
The complaint is based on the re-
fusal of the defendant board to ac-
cept the result of the work of the state
tax commission, which in the process
of equalization of taxes Of all the
counties ordered increases on certain
lines of personal property which in
creased the total assessed valuation
of Washington county from $2,251 ,255
to $3,155,127, frosl which the ad va
hOrem revenue to the state would be
increased by $5,423.52 for the present
fiscal year. 1t is believed that this
bill will pave the way to a clearing up
of all doubt as to the validity of the
state equalization act of 1916, upon
which the new law will stand Or fall
