COURTS TO DECIDE .C|TY'S TAX CLAIM
Conclusion Of Almost Endless Argument With County
 Is Hoped For

Settlement in court of the ques- ton concerning the $216.o0O claimed by the city as due Birmingham as collected by Jefferson county within the Birmingham city limits, as yet unpaid, will be the procedure taken to reach a conclusion in the argu- ment that has been going on for the past several years. This statement was definitely made by city and also county authorities Wednesday morning.
 It will not be the first time the case has gone to court. Already tried, the matter went through to the supreme court where it was de- cided the city was entitled to it's half of the tax collected within the city limits. The claim has been set Up by the county that the city has been recompensed through expendi- lures for public improvements and services rendered by the county within the city limits.
 The city has maintained it's right to authority over the expenditure of nize the presentation of the matter by the county.
 At the last session of the legisla- ture bill was introduced to clear the matter from that point, but the bill failed of passage, leaving the argument where it. officially, had been before, an opinion from the supreme court, favorable to the city, but with only further resort to the courts to enforce payment
 Thomas D. Huey, member of the Jefferson county board of revenue, frsA VI Wednesday, was asked what the county was going to do about 1t. He said that Chairman D. c. Ball of the board of revenue handled the county's financial affairs and would be the authoritative spokesman for board member the subject ap- peared to him to be: Purely a legal matter about which there is some difference of opinion among attor- neys. The board of revenue has merely referred the matter to it's counsel for proper adjudication in the courts.
 City Attorney W. J. Wynn was asked Wednesday morning what steps the city was taking in the matter, President D. E. McLendon of the city commission, having said the question had been passed on to the legal department; and said the city was well satisfied with the way things were going and he had no doubt about the outcome of the question being satisfactory to the city.
 In its annual budget Birmingham listed the s216.000 as an asset, and has so carried the funds due the city from the particular tax for several years.
 The only time in recent years that Birmingham has collected on the tax was when Senator Walter s. Brewer, formerly an assistant city attorney, secured $50,000 from the county de- rived from the division of the 10 cent road tax, several years ago.
