Case in Federal Court to Decide Tax on Stock of Alabama Railway
A Georgia railroad seeks an injunction to halt taxes on 15,000 shares of Western Railway of Alabama stock valued at $1.9 million. The suit, filed by Contract of Georgia Railway Co against Georgia’s comptroller and a Patton County sheriff, argues the stock is not Georgia property and governed by federal law, with a related parallel suit in U.S. court. The case traces complex ownership history from Central Railroad and Banking Co of Georgia to the Central Trust Co of New York and names the Central of Georgia Railway Co as holder of an equitable interest. A restraining order was issued and a hearing set for March 1 with prior notice, while the broader dispute involves bondholders and tax legality under state and federal constitutions.
