done now? Some bonding and
creditor companies have entered
mandamus proceedings against the

to compel the city to levy certain
taxes against property to justify
claims. Now alter consolidation

To Hear Marylander's Challenge
of West Virginia's Beer Law

A Maryland distributors challenge
of the new beer law clause requiring
four years residence in the State of
West Virginia has resulted in the West
Virginia state Supreme Courts decis-
ion to hear arguments on it.
The court directed Tax Commits
sioner Ernest X. James to appear
June 1 to show cause why Joseph Hine-
baugh, resident of Oakland, should
not be granted a renewal of his per-
nit to do business at Kingwood, West
Va.
Hinebaugh said the State refused to
grant him license under the new act,
which became effective April 10.
He asserted the law violates the
fourteenth amendment of the Consti-
tuition of the United States and of the
State of West Virginia"
Contending he has about $4,000 in
vested in the Kingwood business Hine-
baugh told the court that the act was
unlawful, capricious and unwarranted
interference with private business"
Hinebaugh said in his petition he
has paid $9,551 in taxes to the State
since establishing his beer business.
