(No. 728

Claimant awarded $120.90.)

American Bottle Company, Claimant, vs. State of Illinois, Respondent.

Opinion filed May 14, 1924.

Franchise tax — when award may he made. There being no dispute as to the facts and law in this case the court recommends an allowance to claimant of the amount of its claim.

Brown, Geddes, Schmettau & Williams, for claimant.

Edward J. Brundage, Attorney General; George C. Dixon, Assistant Attorney General, for respondent.

Mr. Chief Justice Clarity

delivered the opinion of the court:

This is a claim for the payment of fees to the Secretary of State by the claimant corporation on the matter of franchise taxes amounting to $120.90. The Attorney General, coming into court, files a .consent to an award stating that the Attorney General’s office had investigated the facts in the case as they appear of record in the office of the Secretary of State and he represents to the court that from such investigation he finds the facts alleged in said claim and that the sum of $120.90 is now due the said claimant.

It is therefore recommended by the court that said claimant be allowed the sum of $120.90.
