Factory Tax Debate Spots Manufacturing Stock Woes
A letter from George Alans, president of the Manufacturers' Association, challenges claims that tax cuts favor manufacturers. He argues assessments reflect stock and material values, not land and buildings, citing Slipper Manufacturing Co and Columbia Graphophone Co as examples. He notes war-era inventories and shifts in material on the factory floor. He urges cooperation between manufacturers and homeowners to manage taxes amid economic swings.
