Pocahontas Coal Firm Fights $20,000 Clerk Fee in Virginia
The Pocahontas Consolidated Collieries Company appeals to the Virginia Supreme Court from a Richland circuit court ruling imposing a $20,000 recording fee on a trust deed. The company, after merging, sought bonds of $20,000,000, with portions in Virginia and West Virginia, arguing the tax should not be divided by ownership. The case questions whether the fee applies to multi-state property and if railroads receive improper exemptions. The suit seeks recovery of about $13,296. The matter may be heard next spring.
