Suit Filed to Stop Tax Commission From Raising Ouachita Property Valuation
Guy P. Stubbs seeks an injunction in Sixth District Court at Monroe to bar Louisiana Tax Commission and Ouachita Parish Tax Assessor Joe Hanna from increasing the assessed valuation of Ouachita property. The suit argues the parish board of review set a proper value and that post October 1, 1921 the commission lacked power to raise assessments, a case likely to reach the Louisiana Supreme Court.
