Virginia Supreme Court orders refund to Norfolk & Western
Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals overruled the State Corporation Commission and ordered a refund of almost 1.6 million dollars in 1964 franchise taxes to Norfolk & Western Railway Co. The court held the SCC had no authority to alter its tax formula and had departed from its longstanding method since 1903. The ruling also upholds the SCC in another railroad case and approves Washington and Old Dominion Railroad’s petition to abandon its 48 mile line from Alexandria to Purcellville.
