ARE HELD LIABLE
EBB TAX OF 1904
The supreme court declines to re-
|op*h the case ot Greene and other
| counties against the comptroller gen-
I er.il, in the suit for injunction to pre-
payment of accruing taxes on
| iS.ouo shares of the Western Hallway
nf Alabama held by the Central to
| Richmond county.
When the case was heard in Fulton
I mperlor court last spring, the injunc-
i denied, and the aupreme court
I sustained this judgment. It will be
remembered that two of the Justices,
Cobb and Lumpkin, were disqualified,
tiie attorneys appealed for a
I full bench, Governor Terrell appointed
[ Judges Littlejohn and Freeman to sit
1 In this one case.
After adjournment of the term th*
plaintiffs in error moved the court to
I set aside and disregard their Judgment,
I because the same waa participated in
by only live justices—Chief Justice
I Fish being 111. Plaintiffs also moved.
1 to vacate the judgment because, under
rder calling for a full ‘bench the
opiainn rendered by only five was Jr-
rt-gular and Void.
Holding that it I* not essential for
six Justices to ,make a verdict valid,
only i quorum being necessary, both
motions were denied.

Taxpayers of Worth county will have

<>n August 29, 1904, the county com-
tni.sjdoners of Worth levied a tax of
W <>n the 91,000 in order to build a
court house and Jail. A contract was
I made at once. October 21, 1904, the
com mis a loners passed an order direct
ing the tax collecter to suspend coi-
Jecti m of all of the tax except If on
I to** si.ooo.
An effort was first made tojnake n
I new levy for 1905, hut the court*
I seated a permanent Injunction against
this process. Then In March. 1906,
die commissioners directed the tax col
lector to collect the balance of $10 on
I the 11,000 for 1904.
v.us fought also. A petition for
Injunction alleged that the commiff-
| Sorters had no authority to collect in
m ' ! the tax levied in 1904, and more
over that It was exorbitant and un-
nec^ury. q»h 0 fU p reme court, how-
I PVCr . holds that the collection of the
