Aye: Cooper, Hancock, Rogers, F. Wicker and G. Wicker Nay: None Mr. James L. Clark, Tax Supervisor, appeared before the Board and stated that Central Electric Membership Corporation had appealed an assessment. No ruling was made on the assessment for sometime and when the ruling was finally made the State Board of Assessment advised the County it could charge interest, it appearing that the County had charged $161, 78 in interest when the taxpayer actually had no knowledge of what the final, tax bill would be and therefore could not make payment and avoid the assessment of interest. It appeared to the Board that such a charge was in the nature of a penalty and that a refund should be made. Accordingly, Commissioner Cooper moved that the Central Electric Membership Corporation be refunded the $161, 78 interest charged on its taxes which had accrued because of a delay on a ruling on an assessment. Commissioner Hancock seconded the motion and upon a roll call vote, it was unanimously adopted as follows: Aye: Cooper, Hancock, Rogers, F. Wicker and G.
