Background

Scope and content:

Companies doing business in the state of California were required to file a "Report on General Corporate Franchises"(Form 1), a "Report of Railroad Companies" (Form 7) or a "Report of Railroad Companies (also Street Railways) (Form 6) to the State Board of Equalization on or before the first Monday (or within 10 days of the first Monday) of March of each year, and with each county or city assessor wherein the company owned real or personal property. These SBE-generated forms request address for principal place of business, names and addresses of general officers, income, debt and stock value, length of railway, description of right of way, real estate and real property holdings. The SBE then used this data to levy taxes.
