District Held Not Liable for Taxes
The Arkansas Supreme Court ruled that Little Rock street improvement district 50P is a government agency and its lands are not subject to state or county taxes. It upheld the Pulaski chancery court in voiding a 1938 title to J L Baiers and found land owned by W D Cammack, who bought from the improvised district in February. The decision reversed and upheld various lower court rulings on land ownership claims and adverse possession involving St Low’s Union Trust, Sternberg heirs, and other parties.
