Keeps Ban On
Auto Taxes
DUBLIN, Ga. (UPI)—Dublin
Circuit Judge Harold E. Ward
continued a temporary injunc
tion Thursday prohibiting the
collection of ad valorem taxes
on cars in inventories pending
a final ruling in a suit brought
by car dealers.
The suit seeks a permanent
injunction to block Laurens
County from collecting the tax.
Under a new state law, the
dealers are required to pay
property taxes on all vehicles
in stock.
The court heard arguments
from dealers and the state

seven days to allow both sides
file additional briefs.
The dealers and the state
representatives said they would
appeal any decision, leading to
specualtion that the case would
reach the State Supreme Court.
