Manufacturers Light and Heat Co asked the Charleston Public Works board to rule their tax formula violates the state constitution uniformity clause by using 20 percent physical value and 80 percent enterprise value for a $29 million valuation. They argued railroads use a different 40/40/20 split and that basing property tax on enterprise value turns the levy into a capital stock tax beyond the tax commissioner’s authority.
