THE RAILROADS MUST SETTLE
Supreme Court Decision is Against
Than

In the famous case of the state against
the Georgia and Central railroads, the
supreme court has just decided the
Georgia road was liable for taxes on
fifteen thousand shares of Western
Railway of Alabama stock as far back
as 1895 and that the Central Is liable
from the year 1900. A million dollars
was involved in the original suit Some
five years ago Comptroller General
William A. Wright was examining
Poor's manual and discovered that the
Georgia Railroad and Banking Com
pany and the Central of Georgia Rail-
way Company each owned $4,000 shares
of the capital stock of the Western
Railway of Alabama, par value of which
is 81 500, 900 in each case. He at once
demanded CT both roads payment OF
taxes on the stock, and sought to en-
force its collection. The roads fought
the states claim for taxes, but the de-
cision is against them and vast sum
goes into the state treasury in the way
of tax money from the two companies.
