Supreme Court rules tax exemption for reconstruc tion finance machinery
The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled that machinery owned by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation cannot be taxed by a municipality. The case centered on West Allis city clerk Fred Sanlader's 1946 War Plant assessment of Kearney Trecker Co. machinery at 137,375, which the circuit judge said could not be taxed though real estate could. The court also upheld a Board of Tax Appeals order requiring Norman L. Baker to pay 735 in state income tax, ruling his 1942 income of 17,573 taxed in Wisconsin.
