Keeping Bank Record Straight
In Anita Iowa the abatement of a 1921 tax on Citizens' Savings Bank stock is examined. Stockholders paid a 100 percent assessment to protect depositors, arguing the tax was improper as a personal levy not a bank lien. The Anita City Council and Cass County Board of Supervisors abated the tax, while the State Checker warned of potential liability for the board.
