Old Land Tax Battle Revived in Oxford Cases
In Hamilton, residents of Oxford and nearby areas revived a long battle to have courts rule illegal the taxation on leasehold lands from Miami University. James E. Hendricks filed a mandamus in the Court of Appeals to force Judge P. P. Boli to decide motions pending since 1943 and November 1946. The dispute centers on whether leaseholders own the lands or the university owns them, with county claims upheld in prior decisions.
