Supreme Court rules branch lines not tax exempt
The North Carolina Supreme Court held that the 1835 charter exemption text did not cover the Wilmington and Weldon Railway branches. It refused tax relief for branch lines beyond the main Raleigh to Wilmington route, citing constitutional limits, construction history, and policy to avoid perpetual privileges. The case, W. & W.
