Bond Tax Law Declared Unconstitutional by Supreme Court
The Supreme Judicial Court ruled Chapter 761 of the 1914 Acts, known as the $3 per thousand law, unconstitutional. Cities may tax regis tered and unregistered bonds at regular rates, ending a system that taxed only registered mortgage bonds. The decision, written by Chief Justice Rugg, holds the law was optional and would create unequal taxation across bond holders. It notes the statute aimed to reimburse the state and would shift tax burden, potentially costing municipalities revenue.
