Supreme Court of Appeals OF Virginia,

THE PLACE OF ENROLLMENT OR
REGISTRATION OF TUGS AND
BARGES OF a VIRGINIA RAIL-
ROAD CORPORATION DOES NOT
FIX THEIR SITUS FOR TAXA
TIoN. BUT THEY SHOULD BE
tanned IN THE COUNTY IN
WHICH II. Ely REMAINED WHEN
IN THE STATE.
The PLAINTIFF filed n petition in the
Circuit Court OF the city of Richmond
asking 10 be relieved from an assess
ncnt upon certain tugs and barscs
belonging to it. which mad been made
by the Board Of Public Works. The
plaintiff claimed that the assessment
was illegal because the property was
not subject to taxation in Virginia. The
railroad company WAS a Virginia cor
poratiou and was largely engaged in
moving coal from the terminus OF It's
railroad ut I.ambert's Point. in Norfolk
county, by means of the tugs and
bargos in question, TO various points
harges were enrolled in the custom
house in the city of Philadelphia in the
name OF the secretary Of the railroad
company, but were not assessed for
taxation there or anywhere else except
in Virginia. When in Virginia they
remained ut Lamberts Point and new
or loaded elsewhere. The lower court
held the assessment proper and gave
judgment against the railroad COM
pany, and It appealed.
The court says:
That these tugs ard barses are on
gagged in Interstate commerce does not
exempt them from taxation, nor docs
the place Of their enrolment or regis
tration fix their stus for taxation.
though 1t is 4 circumstance 10 be CON
s!dcred in lis determination. The facts.
IN Our Judgment, clearly show that the
property in question is owned and may
be lawfully taxed in this State. but
we arc further of opinion that 1t should
have been assessed FOR taxation in the
county of Norfolk. within whose limits
I.ambcr,s Point is situated. Amend
cd ana affirmed.
