GROW. Says proof 'available'Stop tax abuses, Morrison urges BY LOU ISAACSON News staff writer Board of Equalization Member Roger Morrison Friday called on members of the Jefferson County legislative delegation to put a halt to what he terms "abuse of authority, favortism, and ignoring of the law" in the board's operation. In a letter to State Sen. Larry Dumas, Morrison said he has documentary evidence to prove his accusations and will make this evidence available to the delegation. Morrison wrote that he agreed with a Dumas proposal concerning a possible increase in the local millage rate of property taxes for purely local use.

"I applaud your stand that such an increase should only be applied after approval by the Jefferson County citizens in a county Morrison declared. Excerps from the letter read: "I DO NOT BELIEVE that any increase in tax on Jefferson County homeowners would be necessary if the state would remove itself from this field of taxation and leave in Jefferson County the approximately $5 million now sent to Montgomery each year, to be distributed to counties which refuse to tax themselves even close to the rate that Jefferson County homeowners are already forced to pay. "However, if the citizens of Jefferson County authorize an increase in local property tax for local use, this would be much fairer than the present Board of Bice slayer gets 10 years on conviction Ten years imprisonment was facing Joseph Bynum Smith Saturday after his conviction on ond degree murder charges in the shooting of his former friend, James C.

YOU DON'T HAVE A CHINAMAN'S CHANCE WITH WAGGONER'S SUBORDINATES In .1923 there was established for the City a Zoning Board of Adjustment. You have the right to appeal to the Zoning Board of Adjustment from the decision of a subordinate in the Department of Public Improvements telling you what you can do and cannot do with your property. The Zoning Board of Adjustment established in 1923 consisted of three members; and the concurring vote of two members was sufficient to reverse the order of a subordinate in the Deparment of Public Improvements. In 1959 a lobbyist went from the City Hall to Montgomery at your expense to secure a new law governing the Zoning Board of Adjustment.

This new law, enacted as Act No. 528 of the Legislature of 1959, packed the Board of Adjustment by adding two members, increasing the membership to 5. Act No. 528 contains the following provision: "The concurring vote of four members of the Board shall be necessary to reverse any order, requirement, desision or determination of any such administrative official." Waggoner destroyed rule by majority on the Board of Adjustment. Under the law sponsored by him you must secure the vote of four out of five members of the Board in order to secure relief from a wrong imposed upon you by one of Mr.

Waggoner's subordinates. Why should you have to submit to a wrong by one of Mr. Waggoner's subordinates, when three out of five of the members of the Board of Adjustment are convinced that Mr. Waggoner's subordinate has wronged you?
