Supreme Court affirms tax ruling on Wilmington and Weldon lines
The U S Supreme Court in an opinion by Chief Justice Fuller upholds a North Carolina ruling that the Halifax to Weldon branch lines of the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad are taxable, while noting the franchise exemption does not cover the branch lines. The decision limits tax exemptions and supports state authority to tax railroad branches and terminal segments.
