7. c. |. BOOKS CASE
HEARING TODAY
Mandamus Petition Will Come
Before Judge Evans-To
Be Precedent

Petition for mandamus to COM
pei officials Of the Tennessee Coal,
Iron and Railroad company to allow
the state tax commission to examine
the books of the corporation in order
to ascertain the amount of taxes due
the state for 1920 will be heard this
morning before Judge Richard Evans
in the circuit court.
Proceedings seeking the writ or
mandamus were filed several days ago
by John Mooring and other members
OF the state tax commission They
aliege that the defendant company had
refused to permit an examination OF its
DOCKS after the commission had set
aside the assessment of the Jefferson
county board of tax adjusters. which
was based on sworn statement Of
George Gordon Crawford, president of
The Tennessee company
The commission held that the assess
ment was too low and was not based
on sufficient data. 1t is claimed bv
the defendant corporation that in de-
manding to examine its books the
state tax commission is exceeding its
authority under the law.
The result Of this case is being
watched with interest as it will n ali
probability be q guide for the action
against approximately 40 other corpor
atoms in the Birmingham district
whose assessments were set aside ana
whose officials have refused to allow
an examination -of the books Of he
