State Board of Public Works Upheld by Judge Lynch at Weston
Judge Charles W. Lynch at Weston upholds the West Virginia State Board of Public Works valuations for the Baltimore and Ohio railroad in Lewis County. The decision preserves the board’s $1,300,000 rail property value, rejects the railroad’s request for reduction, and suggests other circuits will follow similarly. The ruling notes earnings, bonds, and franchises must be considered to determine true value, not just physical property.
