Real Estate Men Press Tax Cut for Mortgage Firms
Edward A. MacDougall, chairman of the National Association of Real Estate Boards finance committee, urged lawmakers to repeal the undistributed profits tax on mortgage corporations and to exempt debentures to aid housing programs. He warned the 1200 per room cap in the Wagner bill would hinder large city housing, proposing a $1000 limit or an amendment to let the federal housing administrator set limits. The note closes with a separate line about Sweden being a country where men live longer than women.
