Making It a Tent Case in Decatur
In Decatur Alabama in February the city and JH Brown owner of the American hotel clash over old street bond coupons traded for a license. Brown was arrested for operating without a license, fined, and appealed. The circuit court issued an injunction stopping further arrests and will revisit the repudiated bonds issue, a decision likely to affect the city's taxing status if bondholders prevail.
