 Valid

City Attorney NJ M. Ullman is in re- ceipt of the official copy of the decision Of the supreme court in the case of Frank Best vs. the city of Birmingham. wherein the city is the winner, and 1t is now unnecessary for the ''city fathers to have further worry over reimbursing street taxes collected to the amount of approximately $10o, 600.
 The case grew out of contest over the payment of street taxes by Best. which Best maintained was unconstitu- tional, and after he had secured fa- vorable action on the case. the court of appeals holding that he was correct in his belief, City Attorney Ullman carried the case to the state supreme court and won his contention that the ordinance was constitutional.
 In view of the money already collected in this manner it was of unusual in- terest to city officials, and had the city lost the case it would have hit the city rather hard to have had to reimburse all the taxpayers who had paid their street taxes.
 The supreme court upheld the first de- cision in the case, when 1t was tried by Judge Fort. and he held that the law was valid.
