for the recovery of Albert l.. John

GRADY HARD HIT
IN TAX MATTERS
Prevention Of Filing Assessments on
Railroads Now, VIII Deal Blow
TO School Systems and City
Government.

Because both railroads own n
large volume of property In this
county, the federal court injunction
secured by the Rock Island and
Frisco railway companies against
the state board of equalization to
prevent the board from filing an
assessment statement with various
counties, deals severe blow to
Grady county, officials declared to-
day.
The county excise board In its
endeavors to place its final approval
upon the various budgets has been
delayed several weeks by the in
ability of the state board of equali-
cation TO file the report of assess
ments against public service cor
porations operating in the state.
The obtaining of the injunction in
federal court further delays the
matter and throws a wrench into
the county's tax machine.
County's Schools to Open.
Although they may be forced to
close in the injunction order is not
dissolved in the near future, all
Grady county schools will open on
the scheduled dates, H. +. Allen,
county superintendent says. Some
of the independent districts, he says,
have money enough in their sinking
funds to keep their schools in op-
Grafton until the tax matters are
Strengthened out, he says.
Every legitimate means will be
used to kee pthe county schools in
operation as long as possible. re-
gardless of the final outcome OF the
dispute, the superintendent states.
T. T. Montgomery, city superin-
tendent of schools, does not view
the situation with alarm. He does
not expect the injunction to con-
tinue in force or effect long enough
to seriously cripple the city school
system.
No warrants are being issued by
the city, according to J. r. Well
born, city clerk. City employees are
being given claims against the city
for their salaries. Local banks are
buying these claims at par value.
If the injunction is not lifted and
the state board permitted to report
the public service corporation as
sessments to the various counties,
both city and county governments
will be paralyzed, it is said
