City Given Verdict
For Large Amount
Jury in Judge Tracy’s court, late Friday, returned a verdict for the plaintiff, Covington, against the Bradford Shinkle estate, rep resented by Mary H. Shinkle. Suit was for collection of alleged back taxes for five years, amounting in all approximately to $140,000.
City claims Bradford Shinkle was a resident of the city at the time of his death and should have paid his personal taxes here, which the defendants deny. Special counsel employed to represent the city are former City Solicitor Stephens L. Blakely and John H. Klette.
Motion and grounds for a new trial were filed Friday by attorneys for the defendant.
