Railroads fight tax hike in Des Moines injunction
Attorneys for individual railroads seek to cut about 40 million in assessed valuation set by the state executive council. They allege discrimination and present affidavits on valuation methods while the state overrules objections. If upheld the higher levy could cost more than 1 million in taxes annually per line, with counties awaiting court ruling. Carris Manufacturing amends Articles to seven directors, naming E W Carris and D H McLaughlin as new directors until the next annual meeting.
