WILL FILE TUITION
LAW SUIT TUESDAY
Suit to test the validity of the
high school tuition law will be
filed Tuesday morning In circuit
court here, James G. Heltzel, at
torney for the plaintiffs, announc
ed yesterday. Taxpayers, who con
tend the law is unfair since funds
are raised without benefit to the
property owners, have made up a
fund with which to prosecute the
case.
Heltzel said he would file his
complaint Just as soon as County
Assessor Steelhammer turns his
rolls over to the connty sheriffs
office for collection. Heltzey will
thus enjoin tax collection, pend
ing trial, of all high school tuition
funds but will allow the payment
of all other taxes.
If the suit were filed before the
assessment Tolls for 1931 were
turned over, Heltzel feels that al
tax collection in the county might
be indefinitely held up.
