West Virginia Supreme Court to Rehear Cases on Fees and Heirs
Charleston, June 13. The Supreme Court of West Virginia voted to rehear two major rulings. One upheld city power to levy fees for services like fire protection and street lighting, while the other denied inheritance to seven of Wilson Arnold's children in a 45 000 dollar claim. The court cited public importance and invited arguments on the fire and lighting provisions. The Arnold case had previously held no common law marriage, keeping the seven heirs from a share of the estate. The fee case arose from J Hansford McCoy vs Sistersville, arguing the charge was effectively a property tax on owners, not a user fee.
