Court of Appeals rules against Maryland tax claim on B and O Railroad
The Court affirms a Baltimore decision holding the state cannot tax the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad’s gross receipts within Maryland for 1895 to 1908. The case centered on Chapter 155 of 1878 and Section 48 of Article 3, with the court ruling the 1878 act was a valid contract enforceable despite later amendments. The $1,000,000 dispute is thus resolved in favor of the railroad.
