CAN'T TAX REPAIR SHOPS
Solicitor Watrous Submits an opin
ion to the Board of Appeals.

The Delaware and Hudson Canal
company recently asked eXoneratiOn
from taxes on certain property in this
city. Solicitor Watrous has submitted
the following opinion i'm the matter:
To the Board of Revision of Taxes and
Appeals:
Gentlemen, / have before me your
request for my opinion as to the liza
bility of tn" Delaware and Hudson
Canal company, for local taxation upon
certain property Of said company To-
Gated in the First Fifth and Sixth
wards of the city. The property being
described in the letter of the Delaware
and Hudson Canal company by G. :.
Weston, general agent dated Nov. 80.
1898. to the board Of city assessors, and
further designated as consisting "of
shops and outbuildings. used exclusive
ly for the repairs to the rolling stock
of said company's railroad. and in
maintenance of its roadway"
In Railroad Co. vs.. Venango county,
reported in lS3 Pa. State reports page
6lS, the supreme court says:
The property of a railroad company
is exempt from taxation for local pur-
poses, only when it is indispensably
necessary to the operation Of the rail-
road as such
The machine shops of railroad
company used exclusively in repairing
and restoring the cars and locomotives
of the company, and not rOr original
construction, are exempt from taxation
for local purposes; but If used for
construction they are subject to local
taXation.'
Therefore, | am of the opinion that if
the property mentioned is used eXclu-
sively for repairs to the rolling stock.
and in maintenance of its roadway that
1t is exempt from local taxation. Bur
If used for original construction it is
liable to local taxation.
Yours respectfully,
H. o, Watrous.
