Judge Parker finds the Globe publication bill for delinquent tax lists and county court proceedings in 1912 correct and orders the county court to issue a warrant for payment. The ruling states the county court acted arbitrarily and without lawful sanction, fixing no reasonable compensation, and upholds prior precedent in Flagg vs Columbia County. T. A. Weinke represented the Globe.
