 THE AGE-HERALD NoutTomery. Ala. Jan. 1J


 The city commission today amended Che city ordinance requiring the col lection of one cent a gallon on gaso- line and one-half cent on kerosene sold by distributors of the city and police jurisdiction by providing that the collection shall not be made on fuels intended for consumption out side the police Jurisdiction. This amendment was intended to answer who contended that they would be forced to quit business since they could not construct stations in other towns in central Alabama and avoid tke tax. while larger companies now uhintain stations in other towns.
 But the amendment will not be satisfactory. The Woco-Pep com my announced it will continue tu AIht the tax on the ground that it Is invalid This company filed a pe- tition in the circuit court late Mon day asking for an injunction. Judge Walter B. Jones has set it for hear ing next Monday.
 Independent companies began the collection of the tax from consumers of gasoline today. The large com panies have not indicated what ac- tion they will take. though their managers have announced that they will not be able to absorb the tax.

The plaintiff. a ts cher of Latin fm the Mobile High sei1ool. claimed that she was discharged summariiy and without just cause in the middle of q term and sought a writ Of man Axmus to require the school authorl- ties to reinstate her and to pay her for the date she was out or work dur5 the ing the term. The defendants in the lower court held that they were erents of the state and that in con aeouence the plaintiff in effect was attempting to sue the state. The flower court upheld this plea and oe- eided against the teacher
 In affirming this decision, the eourt of appeals did not pass upon the point on which it was decided an the lower court. but affirmed the Aectsion for two reasons: the 1aiiure of the suit to show that the plalhs, . tiffs name had ever been removed from the payroll. the court holding fhat inc lack of appropriate allesa- tion on this point would render an order void: and the further fact that the school year 1922-23. whlcn rem .tatement was sought, has explreo'
