First City Tax Evasion Case Involves Local Owner
A.M. Liz a North Center street businessman was arrested on a charge of violating the city school district income tax ordinance. The case, first of its kind in the city, cites delinquent filings for 1956 1957 and 1959 tied to Liz and his shoe shop employee Dominic Falcone. Liz had paid some amount by June but the Income Tax Committee rejects it as insufficient and demands full informational data matching the Federal Return. The district previously did not pursue collection from four delinquent fraternal clubs, a factor Liz cites as reason for nonpayment. Liz was released on bond as settlement talks proceeded in Alderman Cobbett’s office. The case could open a series aimed at collecting the one percent tax shared between city and school district.
