er Of Mrs. Minnie Rhodes and

Louisville Taxes Not
Fair, Citizens Declare

LOUISVILLE - (ANP)-TWo
Negroes startled the mayors
town hall session last week when
they declared that the occupa-
tional tax and other taxes on Ne
groes were unfair because OF
segregation in Louisville.
The protesting citizens, A. E.
Wade and William p. Lanier, said
that they should not be taxed il
they were not allowed to use the
same park and recreational facil-
tiles as other citizens.
Only park, Chickasaw park
and a few Fairgrounds in the
city are open to colored, they
pointed out, and no golf course
is open TO them.
The director of parks and rec
reation, T. Byrne Morgan, said
that there was not enough de-
mand for a golf course for Ne
groes to set up one. He said moth
ing about allowing Negroes equal
use Of all park facilities.
