Southern Railway Protest Over $25 Million Tax Assessment
Montgomery Circuit Judge Walter B. Jones heard an appeal by Southern Railway against a $25,000,000 state property tax assessment. Birmingham lawyers Frantis H. Moore and J. T. Stokely argued the assessment was improperly set and too high compared with other carriers. Revenue Commissioner Philip Hamm increased the assessment after a tentative figure, from $16,048.75 to $25,000,000, following Southern’s protest of a prior $21,750,000 tentative figure. State attorney Francis Hare contended Southern was not discriminated against and had enjoyed lower than usual assessments in past years.
