Mercantile Interests Press Tax Appeal in Alabama
Mercantile leaders in Birmingham urge lawmakers not to raise taxes, warning higher levies would jeopardize merchants’ margins. Attorney Ben Leader opposes increasing sales tax or repealing the tax shift to consumers. The push for a special session gains momentum as a finance panel weighs a statewide fiscal program. Teachers’ salaries emerge as a top goal, with a plan for raise to 1800 dollars a year and a nine month term, while other measures cover construction and buses. The State Labor Department seeks 183,800 dollars for two years, and Henry Sweet cites a 4 million dollar Mobile Docks expansion as Alabama aims to boost trade and port activity.
