There Will Be Rapid Transit in the Now Tall Ones Building
Attorney General Cooper rules on stamp taxes in a land sale involving Charles M. Cooke, G. Witcax, and the stock of C. Brewer & Co. The decision ties stamp duty to the total value of the stock at market rate, complicating valuation for trades with little trading. Also details plans for the Stangenwald Office Building on Merchant Street, a tall Italian Renascence block by Ripley & Dickey for Thurston Carter and associates, featuring a high speed elevator, fire protection, and top floor Business Men's Club space.
