The action will be In the nature of I a friendly suit to determine the com pany's liability for the amount, and the proposed method of bringing the question squarely before the court for determination meeta with the approval of the Sheriff and the County Court. As the same legal points are Involved in the attempts to collect from the Postal Telegraph & Cable Company and the Western Union Telegraph Company, which owe about $8000 between them in equal amounts, all three controver sies are likely to be settled by the same suit. Sheriff Stevens declares he will be prepared to levy after 6 o'clock, Janu ary $1. and Attorney -Allen says be will be prepared with an Injunction the minute the Sheriff makes the at tempt.

"If the company wins I suppose those who did pay the franchise tax without complaint will be entitled to their money back." said Robert Shaw, Clerk of the County Court.
