Vandalia Escapes Taxation Claim in County Suit
Judge Vinson Carter of the superior court ruled that cash held by the Vandalia railroad company cannot be assessed for taxation. Auditors in Marion and Vigo counties had planned to add 1983 to 1904 cash funds to tax duplicates, which would have netted Marion about 226000 and Vigo about 85000. The decision blocks tax collection on those cash sums, aligning with the firm’s argument that the value is already reflected in roadbed, track, and related property values.
