Important Railroad Suit Moved to Federal Court
The State seeks back taxes from Seaboard and Roanoke Railroad Co for 1862 onward. The case, filed in Wake Superior Court, was removed to federal court on grounds of constitutional protection, with a plea to jurisdiction to be argued before Judge Seymour. The dispute centers on a 60 000 to 70 000 claim under the charter and a 1891 tax act imposing 25 cents per share for many years.
