Tax Sale Suit Is Lost In Court
Edith M. Lonergan of Birmingham lost her mandamus suit in Montgomery circuit court seeking to set aside a Jefferson county tax sale. Judge Walter B.

Belated service of notice was argued by Lonergan’s counsel, Ern est Matthews, while Frantis Moore, W. J. Wynn, and Jelks H. Cabaniss represented the state and local officials.
