Ad Valorem Tax Relief Proposed in War Emergency Legislation
A state emergency plan advances ad valorem tax relief by trimming or reallocating the 1032 mill county property tax funded by the state. The proposal, backed by a committee, would reduce state levies or substitute a portion of income tax for bond debt relief, aiming to save taxpayers over 2 million annually. Discussions cover unemployment insurance funding and postwar tax pressures, with a judiciary finance panel debating county tax equalization boards.

Antra State Rail Rates May Be Cut
Montgomery AP. Hugh H. White president of the Alabama Public Service Commission said intra state rail rate increases granted last year by railroads likely would be rescinded. He noted the Interstate Commerce Commission’s reversal of a seven percent interstate rise and predicted Alabama shippers would gain. White warned that if railroads fail to file to remove intra state increases the Alabama Commission would order them to show cause why they should not be rescinded. He added testimony from a Washington hearing showed railroads would still earn substantial profits even after cuts.
