Ohio Chamber estimates savings from federal cuts in 1954-55
The Ohio Chamber of Commerce projects Ohio taxpayers will save about 435 million dollars based on Congress appropriations for the 1954-55 year. It notes 88 counties had 361.69 million dollars in real estate and public utility taxes for the year ending July 1 and breaks out Athens County at 1.20 million in estimated savings. The calculation assumes Ohio bears 6.31 percent of the federal tax burden and results in about 55 dollars per person.
