The decisiou affirms that twenty miles of the main liue of the road are liable to taxes and .lso 280 miles of branch The rod has n-vf r yet paid any state tax, claiming ex emption under its charter If th matter is prosecuted, as is most likely, the remaining 150 miles of the road will be liable for taxation also The decision carries with it back taxes, and, as these are due for fifty years the aggregate will be from quarter to half million dollars. his will be a great help to the taxpayers .of North Carolina Nice Treat.
