High Tax Protest Prompts Suit By Railroad Company
The O RR N protests county board of equalization action raising a 229000 tax assessment on money notes and accounts. Through attorney the company will seek to set aside the decision in state circuit court and aim to reduce the assessment to 9000. At issue is a claimed 500000 property surplus not taxed for roadbuilding. If the suit fails the company could owe 229000 plus penalties and interest. Arthur Spencer argues the 1907 appeal law is unconstitutional. A temporary injunction restrains Sheriff Stovom from tax collection pending appeal.
