Montgomery County Wins Old Tax Case in Court of Appeals
The Court of Appeals reversed the Menefee Circuit Court and orders Menefee county to levy taxes to pay its share of 1853 Lexington & Big Sandy railroad bonds issued by Montgomery. The ruling confines to territory Montgomery controlled at the bond issue and directs Menefee to fund the interest, despite hardship on poorer residents in the state precinct. The combined compromise, interest, and costs exceed six thousand dollars. The lower court was presided by Special Judge D B Redwine. $7.50 buys $15.00 suits at Walsh Bros.
