Credit Mobilier of America was practically
brought 10 conclusion today by the pay
mept into the treasury $40 COO III settlement
of the commonw ealths claim for taxes due
the past Is years.
The Credit Mobilier Company ha hereto
fore returned its capital stock, with a valus-
ton for taxation purposes At the nominal
sum of 30 cents share. claiming it had gone
out of business many years ago, that it had
no tangible assets, and was, in fact, mori-
bund corporation preparing for early dis
solution. The admitted liabilities of about
$1,000 is the total amount due the common
wealth.
The State officials did not accept this view
and the suits were instituted. The Union
Pacific Railroad Company was made the
defendant. the commonwealth claiming that
the latter corporation, as owner of all the
shares of the Credit Mobilier of America,
had in its possession valuable property sub
ject to taxnion. An adjustment was finally
reached upon basis of $50 per share, that
