Court urged to fix fair valuation of Rock Island lines
The Rock Island railroad asks the supreme court to set a proper valuation of its Nebraska property for taxation and then direct the state board of equalization to use that figure. The case targets the 1923 board valuation of about 9.57 million, arguing the board acted without relevant evidence and federal courts have upheld a right to challenge state valuations. The brief contends total value should be about 6.45 million, noting Nebraska traffic figures and track mileage.
