River Equipment Assessment Upset
The Kanawha river steamboats and 42 steel barges owned by O F Shearer and Sons are exempt from West Virginia taxation after Circuit Judge Julian F Bouchelle ordered the assessor J H Abbott and state tax commissioner George P Alderson to revise the 1939–1943 assessments by removing the boats and barges. Abbott’s action, upheld by the tax board, aimed to collect about 17500 dollars in 1943 taxes plus back taxes. The company dock is Cedar Grove, but Abbott had Cedar Grove as the business site and alleged a Winchester Kentucky return.
