Taxation hearing on proposed Massachusetts commission
The taxation committee heard arguments on appointing a commission to study taxation reforms. Merchants and manufacturers urged a targeted, reportable commission based on their own system, opposed to a general paid inquiry. Speakers from the Merchants Association Real Estate Exchange and Board of Trade supported a bill to investigate their plan, with calls for five members and farmer and labor representation. The committee then went into executive session.
