U.S. Supreme Court

New Mexico v. United States Trust Co., 174 U.S. 545 (1899)

New Mexico v. United States Trust Company

No. 169

Resubmitted April 17, 1899

Decided May 15, 1899

174 U.S. 545

Syllabus

The provision in the Act of July 27, 1866, c. 278, exempting from taxation the right of way granted to the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Company, does not operate to exempt the right of way when acquired from private owners and not from the United States, and the judgment in this case made at this term and reported on page 172 U. S. 186 of 172 U.S. having been made under a mistake of facts, is modified to that extent.

The assessments on the superstructures on so much of the right of way as was taxable were not assessments of personal property, but were clearly assessments of real estate, and the fact that the improvements were designated by name, and some of them given a separate valuation, did not invalidate their assessment as real estate.

The statement of the case will be found in the opinion of the Court.
