Maryland sales tax proposed to ease state property burden
Annapolis officials unveil a plan for a 2 percent blanket sales tax to replace the property tax, with exemptions for government purchases and essentials. The measure includes a constitutional amendment to stop future property levies for debt service and would begin reducing the 22 cent property rate immediately, taking effect on passage with funds redirected to debt retirement. The plan foresees annual state revenue of about 600 thousand dollars and a gradual shift away from property tax by 1951, while local property levies remain unaffected. An unfavorable Senate finance committee report later blocks a separate measure to double the state license fee for moving picture theaters.
