Board Backs Pennsy Plea
On Rolling Stock Tax

The District Board of Tax Ap.
peals held today that the law pro-
viding for taxation of railroad roll.
ing stock operating in the District
was not retroactive.
Lawrence Koenigsberger gave the
opinion in ruling on an appeal by
the Pennsylvania Railroad Co. from
a $21, 1855 personal property tax
assessment for the fiscal year 1916
Pointing out that the act did not
become law until December Is, 1945,
almost six months after the date
when its provisions were to have
become effective, the board ruled
that the Pennsylvania Railroad
could not fulfill the statutory re-
quirements insofar as the fiscal
year 1916 was concerned.
The number of scales on a fish
