Railroads Protest Tax Assessments at State Hearings
Railroads protested that despite a $1,822,300 statewide reduction in assessments their individual figures remain too high as three days of formal hearings opened on utility property valuations. The Tax Department tentatively set railroads at $311,966,700, with several lines seeking further reductions or adjustments. The Chesapeake and Ohio named itself a principal state taxpayer and urged credit for a $1,600,000 duplicate assessment, while New York Central warned of a financially disastrous year and sought $4,042,000 for its tax base amid rising costs and labor strains. The Norfolk and Western portion of the report cuts off.
