POWER CO. LOSES IN U.S. COURT Property Will Be Sold June 10 Unless 1919 Taxes and Interest Are Paid in Full HE city of Seattle and King county won hands down Thursday in the fight between them and the Puget Sound Light and Power company over the payment of 1919 taxes. Federal court here refused to grant an injunction asked by the power company and by the Old Colony Trust company. The peti- tion sought to halt sale of the com- pany’s property, under distraint by ~ Sheriff Matt Starwich, on July 10. The result of the decision, Prose- cutor Malcolm Douglas said, will be to cut more than one mill from ~ TS |this year’s county taxes. The power company, under the decision, must pay into the county treasury a tax jof more than $400,000, with interest, bringing the total to more than $650,000. STAT) RIGHTS WIN IN FEDERAL COURT Thursday's decision was unani- mously concurred in by Federal Judges Bourquin, Cushman and sitting en banc. They held, briefly, that collection of a state tax was a matter be- tween the state and the corporation with which the United States had no right to interfere. Pridr to Thursday's decision the county had obtained favorable de- cisions from the state supreme court and the United States supreme _ court upholding the validity of the tax. The tax is that for the year 1919. The carlines were taken over by of that year. ment of taxes was raised. been decided, in cach case, county's “favor. COMPANY'S NEXT MOVE IS UNKNOWN Three courses are open to the company. It has three days in which it may file an amended ap- peal; it may go to the circuit court of appeals, or it may pay the tax and afterward start sults against the county for its recovery. In the light of recent decisions no one of the courses appears to offer much hope. Federal courts undoubtedly would sustain the action of the lecal U. S. tribunal. James B, Howe, attorney for the company, would throw no light on the concern’s next move. “I have nothing to say,” he re- plied to questions, He was asked: “Will the com- pany allow the seized property to be sold?” This elicited the same re- ply. The county's case was handled by Prosecutor Malcolm Douglas and Deputy Prosecutor Howard A. Han- son. Every contention made in thelr answer to the injunction pe~ titions was upheld by the court.
