Supreme Court rules for tax levies without popular vote in Virginia
The Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals, in the W. S. Cox case, held that school boards may levy special taxes to repay Literary Fund loans without a popular vote. By 5 to 2, the court reversed a lower ruling, freeing nearly $100,000 in fall disbursements to county and city schools and affirming the distinction between literary loans and bond issues.
