Mingo Deficit Levy Upheld by Supreme Court
The West Virginia Supreme Court upheld a three year deficit levy in Mingo County despite objections that the tax may violate limits. Justice Jo N. Kenna wrote the majority ruling that the circuit court erred in dismissing a suit by Norfolk and Western Railway and 23 taxpayers. Justice Fred L. Fox dissented, warning the case should be decided on merits to prevent future misuses of levies. The levy, approved by voters in 1939, aimed to cover $76,000 in accumulated debts. The court closed its present term with the ruling.
