UBflDIB IBIHKBXOMIE Trustee for Knox County yourself a trip to the Court House Many Suits Predicted On Power Board axes IF YOU HAD A NECK AS LONG AS THIS MHOW AND HAD SORE THROAT DUE TO COLDS Herbert Bingham of Nashville executive secretary of the Tennessee Municipal League said yesterday he expects from one to two dozen suits be filed soon in Tennessee on the controversial question whether municipal power boards must make payments in lieu of taxes to counties From among these suits he added TML will select one as a test case in which it will support the municipal position against the county claims Two such suits were filed last month in federal courts one by the City of Greene-ville against Greene County and the other by the City of Tulla-homa agamst Coffee County In each suit the court is asked to declare that under Section 13 of the Tennessee Valley Authority Act neither the city nor its electric A Clubs Add To March Of Dimes Four Knox County Hi-Y and Y-Teen clubs collected

anticipates that suits will be authorized by a number of counties as their quarterly county courts meet this month Although some may be filed in state courts he expects all to be transferred to federal courts and most of them held inactive until the questioned is final ly settled on appeal of the test case to the US Supreme Court Speaking by telephone from Nashville Bingham labeled as incorrect a report that the Tulla-homa suit already had been selected as the test case He said TML probably will wait for a number of other suits to appear and-analyze them before selecting the one to back The counties it is reported are unhappy not merely because they are not paid tax equivalents by the cities To add insult to injury they contend the municipal pow er boards collect such revenue on the basis of electric property located in the counties but pay it to the cities In other words according to the complaint the cities get the share as well as their own Exceptions are the larger power boards including those Knoxville Chattanooga and Nashville which make payments in lieu of taxes to counties and cities The question has been tried in the state courts in the City of Murfreesboro case The Tennes see Supreme Court ruled in this suit that the city must make pay ments to Rutherford County The US Supreme Court declined to review this decision George Adams Retired Railway Worker Dies
