Montgomery, December 15.-(Spe-
ciaL)-The Alabama Power company
has paid into the state treasury
every penny due by it for franchise
taxes for the years it has been in
business in Alabama under the recent
decision of the supreme court. An
nouncement was made by the state
tax commission today that the com

ury s7S.2So.S1. the total amount
found to be due by the state by the
company.
This tax had never been paid be-
cause of the provision of the gem
eral revenue acts which exempted
new Industries of certain taxes for
10 years from the time operations
started. The supreme court held that
this section did not apply to fran
ehise taxes because the constitution
required the legislature to levy a
franchise tax against every corpora
ton.
The tax commission also an
bounced that the Tennessee Coal,
Iron and Railroad company had paid
its ad valorem taxes amounting to
s260,000, which had been In litign-
ton for over year.
