Court Decision UphoIds
B. & 0. Tax Exemption
Nv the Associated Press.


BALTIMORE, Aug. 30.-In a re-
versal of the State Tax Commission.
Judge w. Conwell Smith of Circuit
Court ruled today that rolling stock
of the Baltimore g. Ohio Railroad is
not subject to taxation in Maryland.
The opinion nullifled the Tax
Commissions assessment of $4,131,-
245 for that portion of the property
located in Maryland, on which taxes
and penalties would exceed $500, 900.
The case, expected to reach the
Court of Appeals, involved clause
Of the roads charter issued in 1926,
exempting rolling stock of the main
line from taxation.
Judge Smith held that the char
ter. and a subsequent settlement act
passed in 1878, did not intend that
taxes be imposed upon additions to
rolling stock of the original main
line.
