The petitioner apparently had an apprehension that this would amount to the authority holding that the price-list as furnished by the assessees were not acceptable to the proper officer and therefore a question of payment under protest may arise under rule 173 (Sic.). It is made clear that such a payment under protest does not arise and what is needed from the petitioner is the furnishing of proper bonds, as required under Rule 9-B o...
