Description
This appeal arises from an action of mandamus brought on the relation of the Comptroller of the State of Florida, wherein the relator sought to compel the respondent, City of Pensacola, and certain of its officers to pay to the comptroller a gross receipts tax on the sale of natural gas by the City of Pensacola during 1955. The tax sought to be collected is that imposed by Section 203.01, Florida Statutes F.S.A. The alternative writ of mandamus alleges that during the year 1955 the respondent city was engaged in furnishing to its inhabitants and to others residing in the vicinity natural gas for light, heat or power, and that the city nevertheless had failed to report to the comptroller the amount of its gross receipts or to pay the tax for the period in question as required by law. It is further alleged that the city declined to pay the tax on the ground that it was exempt from the imposition thereof under the provisions of Chapter 31166, Special Acts of the Legislature, 1955.
