Monroe, La.-Judge Fred M. Odom
n a decision handed down in Sixth
District Court at Monroe recently in

ma, Ouachita tax assessor, and the

the contention Of the tax payers OF
the parish, for whom the suit was

accordance with q recent decision
Of the Louisiana State Supreme Court.
The case Of Stubs against the as

situated we're not assessed at SO great

payers Of Monroe claimed that the as
sessments in this city we're based on
fictitious valuations that we're the re-
suit Of boom times in 1919-1920.
The Ouachita parish police jury
adopted a resolution on November 10,
1921, protesting against the valuation
Of farm, suburban and city property
and submitted it to the Louisiana
Tax Conn ss!on, but the Commission
turned down the protest on November
Is on the grounds that there was not
sufficient basis for a reduction in the
value Of Ouachtta lands. This was
followed By the organization OF the
Ouachita Taxpayers League and the
filing Of the suit by Mr.. Stubbs, who
claimed that . normal assessment Of
