Georgia and Central railroads face back tax on Western Alabama stock
The state expects about 150000 in back taxes from two railroads owning Western Railway of Alabama stock. Georgia Railroad will pay roughly 100000, likely within weeks, while Central of Georgia faces about 50000 tied to its equitable interest rather than fee ownership. Settlement is hoped without litigation before the legislature convenes.
