Hesket vs Williams hearing over back taxes ends with partial relief
Judge Eason ruled to dissolve the injunction on simple taxes in Hesket vs Williams but kept the penalty injunction in place. The Hesket contract with Standard Advertising in 1895 is at issue, with taxes assessed on sums considered as rent or purchase credits. The decision, crediting Hesket for good faith yet finding returns not lawfully made, likely faces appeal and affects related frontage and city improvement disputes.
