Ruling Denies State Millions in Illinois Central Tax Case
The Illinois Supreme Court denied the state's appeal in the Illinois Central railroad tax case, keeping the prior valuation and tax figures. It rejects a ware hearing and modifies the opinion slightly, leaving the final assessed value at $191,020,034 with 70 percent equalization and a tax base of one third of that amount at 70 cents per $100. The ruling avoids an extra $1.25 million tax for 1913 and caps the company’s levy at 7 percent of gross earnings.
