Supreme Court rules mortgage deduction favoring mortgagors
The Supreme Court disposed finally of the mortgage deduction case in favor of mortgagors denying County auditor H. B. Smith's petition for a re hearing in the mandamus proceedings brought by Martha Lewis et al to compel a deduction from assessed valuation of the amount of a mortgage.
