~~tQ:Jl~
City mayor and the Council;
The Brown Crummer case was decided against rlammond this morning.
So that nOVl the case stands as follows;
The Brown Crummer,00mpany,in the former case has a
tax levy against Ocoee,of seven mills and in th~t case we were
ordered to levy and assess the seven mills ag~in8t all the property
in the city and the pwoperty th3t went out.
But @Jt~e the property that went out of the city
cannot be forced to make payments until,Judge Al>::erman, in the
present case,decides that the Florida Supreme Court was in error
in permitting the property to be withdra~~ from the limits,
without paying their proper share of the city debts.
So today Judge Akerman decided to overrule hammonds motion
to dismiss the case brot by Brown Crummer. This ~e~ns th"!.t ~rl.!nmond
must al)pear before the court within the next 60 days and show by
, an answer,that his clients are not liable.Since he was overruled
thi s morning, I bele i ve he will be 0 ver:ruled in his ans\ver, since
his answer will include the same law he had this morning.
