Compromise Decision On Chicago Utilities Tax Assessment
In Chicago on April 4 Judges Grossenp and Humphrey read a compromise ruling in injunction cases brought by seven public utility firms to stop tax collection after mandamus in state courts. The court finds prior reassessments 30 to 40 per cent too high but allows collection of about 69 to 70 per cent of the tax, totaling roughly $4.6 million, with masters to refine exact amounts. Firms named include Union Traction Company, Consolidated Traction Company, South Chicago City Railway, Chicago City Railway, Chicago Edison Company, People’s Gas Light and Coke Company, and Chicago Telephone Company. The court says stock market values, not stock par values, should determine tax bases.
