Taxing Chicago’s foreign stock the city could gain much
The Chicago Eagle denounces lax Board of Assessors and Board of Review in failing to tax foreign corporations owned by Chicago investors. It cites Swift families, Armour interests, Libby, McNeill & Libby and others, estimating years of back taxes could fund firemen salaries, teachers’ pay, and city improvements. It urges probes into stock ownership and back taxes over five years to secure $20,000,000 plus for public services and utilities.
