Injunction lifted allowing Hardin County tax collection
The injunction against Hardin County ending tax collection was dissolved after a settlement with Sinclair Oil and Gas Co. Judge Fletcher Richardson noted the county will use 1962 values and a $70 500 contract with Pritchard and Abbott to appraise all property. The move could put more property on the rolls and reduce Sinclair Oil and Gas Co values by removing nonproducing wells.
