Illinois Supreme Court denies re hearing in railroad tax case
The Illinois Central railroad tax dispute ends with the Supreme Court denying a rehearing and adjusting valuation figures. Audits and commissions produced a series of valuations from 189,186,583 to 191,020,034, leading to tax assessments at 70 cents per one hundred dollars. The final outcome limits the railroad to 7 percent earnings, avoiding additional taxes projected under Brady’s original schedule.
