Akin Law Boosts Dow Tax and Infirmary Revenues
The article explains that the Akin law raises the Dow tax from 350 to 1000 a year, with the County and City Infirmaries each receiving two tenths of all tax proceeds. In Hamilton County last year the Dow tax brought 1 198 232 dollars, yielding 31 640 to the County Infirmary and 207 748 to the City Infirmary. Projections indicate receipts near 3 500 000, with County and City infirmaries taking about 100 000 and 600 000 respectively, while maintenance costs run 238 000 to 30 600 for the county and 85 000 to 90 000 for the city. A movement seeks to amend the law to divert funds to other charities, such as orphans’ homes, with the State Board of Charities to address the issue in the next Legislature.
