Third Court of Appeals Rendered Important Opinion in Case of Guarantee Life of Houston. (Houstmu Post Special.) AUSTIN, Texas. March 11 Notes deposited In the state treasury by insurance companies as securities, demanded under the law for Ore transaction of business in this State, are taxable at Austin, according to an opinion rendered by the Third Court of Civil Appeals today in the- rase of the Guarantee Life Insurance Company of Houston against the city of Austin Contending that the home of-fl of the company as in Houston and that taxes had been paid voluntarily on these notes In that city, the Insurance company resinted the efforts of the city of Austin to demand taxes on the notes derosiled. The contention was raised as to the situs of the deposits with the court holding that the permanency of the deposits made the situs of the notes in Austin. The court deemed the defenae of the company as to the location of situs in Houston as inadequate, and the fact that taxes had been paid on the notes in that city was no defense.

The suit brought by the city of Austin was for 13671 In taxes for the years of 1 V08 and 1W This was taxes on securities amounting to $100,000 deposited during each of tnese years. This decision would give the city the right to collect taxes on notes deposited as securities prior to 1909. The Legislature In that jear. however, amended the law making such securities assessable and taxable at the home office of the company. The case will probably go up to the State Supreme Court for a final decision.
