Lead Opinion
In this cause Mr. Chief Justice DAVIS, Mr. Justice WHITFIELD, and Mr. Justice BUFORD are of the opinion that the decree of the Circuit Court should be reversed while Mr. Justice ELLIS, Mr. Justice TERRELL and Mr. Justice BROWN are of the opinion that the said decree should be affirmed. When the members of the Supreme Court, sitting six members in a body and after full consultation, it appears that the members of the Court are permanently and equally divided in opinion as to whether the decree should be affirmed or reversed, and there is no prospect *831
of an immediate change in the personnel of the Court, the decree should be affirmed; therefore it is considered, ordered and adjudged under the authority of State, ex rel. Hampton v. McClung,
Affirmed.
DAVIS, C.J., and WHITFIELD, ELLIS, TERRELL, BROWN and BUFORD, J.J., concur.
Addendum
This is a companion case to that of Lummus, et al., v. Florida Adirondack School, Inc.
The tax assessment involved in the case here was for the year prior to the year of the acquisition of the property from Mrs. Ransom by the corporation Florida-Adirondack School, Inc.
On authority of the opinion and judgment in the companion case, the decree appealed from in this case should be affirmed.
It is so ordered.
Affirmed.
WHITFIELD, C.J., and BROWN, BUFORD, and DAVIS, J.J., concur.
TERRELL, J., agrees to the conclusion.
