Perry County banks sue over personal property tax dispute
A Perry County suit seeks return of 1972 personal property taxes on bank stock and to bar future individual taxation. Plaintiffs First National Bank and Murphy Wall State Bank Pinckneyville plus Du Quoin State Bank and Du Quoin National Bank name county officials as defendants. They cite the 1973 Illinois Supreme Court decision allowing corporations to pay taxes while exempting individuals holding stock. The case notes escrow and cites a total of about 79000 dollars at stake with potential tax effects through 1978 and possible statewide implications. Local officials explain trustees are not natural persons and thus not exempt. A gospel sing is noted in Colp by the Apostolic Church.
