Opinion

Pee Cubiam.

• The question involved: In determining the amount of the 1937 ad valorem taxes to be assessed and imposed by Mecklenburg County upon the taxable “solvent credits” of the Piedmont Eire Insurance Company, is the Piedmont Eire Insurance Company entitled to deduct from its otherwise taxable “solvent credits” the amount of its “unearned premiums” as of the tax return date?
