Ohio Bridge Tax Dispute Impacts West Virginia Assessments
The West Virginia board of public works heard Ohio bridge tax protests tied to 1945 valuations on three Ohio river spans. Ohio Bridge Commission counsel urged reductions to about 525,000 per bridge, alleging toll-free status and tax exemption to ease economic shock. Other hearings covered Appalachian Electric Power Co and Tennessee Gas issues, with Federal Judge Ben Moore joining the action and a related dismissal of a New River Coal Co. complaint as compliant with OPA orders.
