State Board Vets Tax Remittance For Danbury Trolley Co
Hartford reports the state board of control voted to remit taxes owed by the Danbury Trolley Company. Taxes for prior periods amount to 77. The action was conditional on repayment of taxes due for earlier periods, approximately 41. A further move approved adding to the state’s contribution for insurance publication costs at the request of Insurance Commissioner Howard B. Dunham. Connecticut officials noted insurance publication funds lag behind prior allocations while agriculture department expansion pressures the annual appropriation of 12,580. The session urged keeping expenditures within the appropriation until the general assembly adjourns.
