Taxpayers challenge Boston Elevated apportionment and 1918 act
The petition argues the trustees’ apportionment and the state treasurer’s warrant are illegal and premature. Boston would bear 71.93 percent of the deficit, and the 1918 act granting public control to the Boston Elevated is unconstitutional. It claims levying taxes for a private corporation violates city rights under 1921 and 1911 acts granting subway proprietary rights to Boston. The filing argues these actions impair contracts with the Commonwealth and subway leases.

Objections Rise Over City Subway Property Rents and Deficit
The filing alleges deprivation of city property rights in subways and tunnels and rents, plus disputes over how a deficit of the Elevated was calculated. It notes about 2 million dollars of the 3.98 million deficit is for deferred maintenance before 1918 acts. Tax impact and timing are discussed. Boston faced 3,348,950 dollars of a state tax, and a hearing likely by October.
